Brandon Miller is out for the season due to wrist surgery, and the Charlotte Hornets lose an important scorer

The Charlotte Hornets announced yesterday that guard Brandon Miller has undergone surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist and will miss the rest of the season.

Miller felt discomfort in his wrist during a confrontation in the Charlotte Hornets' 117-112 win over the Utah Jazz. After the game, the team arranged for Miller to undergo a detailed MRI, which showed that he had a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist and needed surgery to repair it.

Miller underwent successful surgery at the hospital this week. The Charlotte Hornets announced that they will provide further updates during Miller's recovery.

The 22-year-old Miller, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has shown great potential this season. Miller averaged 21 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, making him the team's second-leading scorer.

Miller's three-point shooting is particularly impressive, averaging 3.9 three-pointers per game, ranking fifth in the global league, proving his high efficiency on the offensive end. Therefore, the impact of Miller's absence on the Charlotte Hornets cannot be underestimated.

Last season, Miller was selected to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, was named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month three times, and ranked third in the Rookie of the Year voting. Although Miller's career has just begun, his performance has already won him a lot of attention and praise.

For Miller, this injury is a huge challenge, but it is also an opportunity to readjust and recover. I believe the Charlotte Hornets will fully support Miller's recovery process and hope that he can return to the court in a stronger posture.
