Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller will miss the rest of the season due to a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist.

Miller underwent surgery after missing the last three games with the injury.

This is a significant setback for the Hornets, who are already dealing with injuries to Grant Williams and have been showing improvement recently.

Miller had a strong season, averaging 21 points, nearly five rebounds, and 3.6 assists.

With Miller out, the Hornets face a decision on how to approach the rest of the season, potentially leaning toward a tanking strategy.

The Hornets are facing a decision at the trade deadline with playoff hopes slim. The team traded Nick Richards for Josh Okogie and picks.
