The Charlotte Hornets have agreed to a five-year, $209 million rookie-scale contract extension with forward Brandon Miller. Representatives AJ Vaynerchuk and Joey Middleton of VaynerSports confirmed the agreement on Tuesday evening. Drafted second overall in 2023, Miller is positioned as the franchise's cornerstone following an offseason marked by significant roster turnover.
Miller played 65 games last season, averaging 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. The extension solidifies Miller's role following the offseason departure of star guard LaMelo Ball, as Charlotte prepares to open the 2026-27 NBA season on the road against the Brooklyn Nets.
