The Charlotte Hornets and forward Brandon Miller have agreed to a five-year, $209 million rookie-scale contract extension, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Entering his fourth year in the league, Miller is poised to take on an even bigger role within the Hornets after the franchise traded longtime staples LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges over the offseason.
After being limited to 27 games during the 2024-25 season, Miller bounced back with a strong season last year, averaging 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and shooting 38.3% from three-point range in 65 regular-season games.
Miller’s performance was a major factor in the Hornets’ midseason turnaround that propelled them to two play-in games. With Miller’s big extension, he’s been handed the reins of a newly reshaped Hornets roster alongside Kon Knueppel and Coby White, as well as big man Naz Reid, who was acquired in the Ball deal.
