What happened
Charlotte and Brandon Miller agreed Monday to a five-year, $209 million rookie-scale extension hours before the draft-class deadline, keeping the 2023 No. 2 pick under contract through five more seasons.
The deal follows Miller’s bounce-back third season after a left-shoulder injury, when he averaged 20.2 points per game, and it comes as Charlotte keeps reshaping its roster after trading LaMelo Ball this offseason.
The extension removes Miller’s pending team-option and restricted-free-agency path, giving Charlotte more certainty around its wing core. It also reinforces his role as a central piece as the Hornets adjust to Ball’s departure.
