Overview
- The team exercised Miller’s fourth-year and Salaun’s third-year rookie options ahead of the Oct. 31 deadline.
- The moves guarantee 2026–27 salaries of $15,104,626 for Miller and $8,237,880 for Salaun.
- Miller is sidelined with a left-shoulder subluxation, is seeking a second opinion, has no announced timetable, and will miss Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.
- Charlotte can negotiate a rookie-scale extension with Miller from July 1, 2026 until its first game of the 2026–27 season.
- Salaun’s rookie year in 2024–25 was modest statistically, and the Hornets must decide on his 2027–28 option next fall.
