Brandon Miller’s Injury and Surgery

The scapholunate ligament connects the scaphoid and lunate bones in the wrist and is a primary stabilizer of the joint between the two. Miller’s surgery was performed by Dr. Michelle Carlson at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. This type of injury is not uncommon among NBA players, with others like Jaylen Brown and Bradley Beal having undergone similar surgeries in the past.

Impact on the Hornets

Miller’s absence is a significant blow to the Hornets, who have already been dealing with injuries this season. He was averaging a career-high 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in just 27 games this season. His performance had been a bright spot for the team, and his loss will undoubtedly be felt on the court.

Looking Ahead

With Miller out, the Hornets will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by their young star. This could be an opportunity for other players to gain more experience and develop their skills. The team will also need to consider their options at the trade deadline, as they look to improve their roster for the future.
