Brandon Miller is expected to return to the court on Saturday against the Clippers. He’s no longer listed on the Hornets’ injury report after missing 13 straight games – plus most of another – with a partially dislocated left shoulder.
Miller sustained the shoulder subluxation in the second game of the season after a strong opener that featured 25 points and seven assists.
He played 74 games as a rookie but was limited to only 27 last season due to right wrist surgery.
According to Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer, the shoulder injury happened when Miller slipped while trying to fight through a screen.
He resumed basketball activity earlier this week and practiced with the Greensboro Swarm during his ramp-up.
Turning 23 on Saturday, Miller holds career averages of 18.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists on .428/.364/.832 shooting splits across 103 games.
He remains a major part of Charlotte’s long-term core and becomes extension-eligible in 2026.
Tre Mann, who exited Monday’s game with left ankle soreness and missed Wednesday’s loss, is questionable for Saturday.
After a 2–1 start, the Hornets have dropped 10 of their last 12, sitting at 4–11 and 12th in the East.
