Hornets Diagnose Brandon Miller With Left Shoulder Subluxation, Rule Him Out vs. Heat

He will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Charlotte following the road trip.

Overview

  • Miller left Saturday’s loss in Philadelphia in the second quarter, with local reporting indicating he slipped while trying to fight through a screen.
  • He also missed Sunday’s game in Washington, making Tuesday’s matchup in Miami his second straight absence.
  • The team has not determined whether surgery is needed, and non-surgical in-season subluxations have averaged about three weeks missed, according to Jeff Stotts.
  • Kon Knueppel moved into the starting lineup, and Collin Sexton and Sion James have taken on increased minutes in Miller’s absence.
  • Charlotte’s next home game is Thursday against Orlando, when another update could arrive, after Miller opened the season with 25 points and seven assists.
