Hornets’ Brandon Miller Blocks Giannis, Reveals Winning Mindset After Injury Return
Charlotte, NC – Despite a Monday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Hornets rookie Brandon Miller showcased his resilience and competitive spirit. Miller, recently returned from a shoulder injury, posted an impressive 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.
In a highlight play, Miller notably blocked Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo at the rim. When asked about his mindset behind such plays, Miller stated, “Just trying to make every winning play, help my teammates out, and put us in the best position to win the ballgame.”
The lottery pick from the 2023 NBA Draft has consistently demonstrated a desire to make game-changing plays for the Hornets. While injuries have hampered his early career, Miller’s potential alongside fellow rookie Kon Knueppel, is generating excitement among fans.
If Miller can stay healthy, he and Knueppel could form a dynamic wing duo, providing the Hornets with a clearer path forward.
The Hornets face the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
