Brandon Miller Sidelined With Shin Contusion Against Brooklyn

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller is listed as out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets due to a shin contusion suffered during practice. The absence is expected to be purely precautionary. The 23-year-old is looking to build upon a stellar 2025-26 campaign where he averaged 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting a career-high 38.3 percent from beyond the arc across 30.3 minutes per contest over 65 regular-season games.
