Brandon Miller of the Charlotte Hornets has been sidelined due to a left glute strain sustained during the season opener against the Houston Rockets. The team confirmed he will miss upcoming games, including matchups against the Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, and Toronto Raptors, with a reevaluation scheduled in a week.

Miller, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, had a promising rookie season, averaging 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. His absence will prompt increased roles for teammates Tre Mann, Cody Martin, and Seth Curry.
