Brandon Miller Returns With 18 Points in Preseason Win Over Bucks

Brandon Miller returned from a shin contusion to make his preseason debut, recording 18 points, four assists, three rebounds, and a block in 22 minutes during a 105-90 win over the Bucks. The 23-year-old swingman shot 6-15 from the field and connected on a game-high four three-pointers. Having missed Tuesday's opener against Brooklyn, Miller's active return stabilizes the Hornets' rotation as teammates navigate ongoing lineup adjustments and injuries.
