Brandon Miller left Charlotte’s loss to Boston on Friday with right groin soreness and did not return. The injury adds to the Hornets’ growing list of absences as they try to stop a six-game losing streak.

By the Numbers
  • Miller averaged 22.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.9 minutes over 9 games.
  • Charlotte is 3-7 after losing 6 straight.
  • Miller signed a 5-year extension projected to be worth $208.8 million.
Yes, But

Miller’s shooting has been inefficient—35.9% from the field and 26.7% from 3-point range—but Charlotte has also been short-handed, with several rotation players injured or just returning.

State of Play
  • Miller’s return timeline was not provided.
  • Kon Knueppel’s hamstring injury is still being assessed; coach Charles Lee said it will take time to determine how long he’ll be out.
  • Grant Williams is ramping up activity, while Moussa Diabate and Dennis Schröder missed Friday’s game.
What's Next

Charlotte will need to monitor Miller’s groin and manage its depleted rotation. No timetable was given for his return or Knueppel’s.

Bottom Line

Charlotte’s losing streak is unfolding amid a wave of injuries, and Miller’s status could further complicate the Hornets’ effort to regain momentum.
