Oct 19 (Field Level Media) – Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller agreed to a five-year, $209 million extension, according to multiple reports on Monday.
Miller became the main building piece for the Hornets when the club traded guard LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the offseason.
Entering his fourth season, Miller underwent offseason surgery on his left shoulder but is ready for the campaign. The Hornets open the season Wednesday by visiting the Brooklyn Nets.
Miller, who turns 24 on Nov. 22, was the second overall pick of the 2023 draft out of Alabama. He has career averages of 19.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists and has made 492 3-pointers in 166 career games (160 starts).
Miller averaged 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists and sank a career- high 204 treys in 65 games last season.
In 2024-25, Miller was limited to 27 games due to a right wrist injury.
