Man, Brandon Miller definitely started the 2025-26 season slow, and we now know why: a lingering shoulder injury was messing with his game, plain and simple.

The Hornets Started Rolling, and So Did He

It wasn’t helping his game that he was battling through that injury early on. But here’s the kicker: once the Charlotte Hornets really started to hit their stride around the middle of the campaign, something totally clicked for Miller too. His play just took off right alongside the team’s momentum.

Numbers Don’t Lie After the New Year

Seriously, look at this turnaround. When that calendar finally flipped to 2026, Brandon Miller was straight-up averaging 20.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. That kind of jump, especially after fighting through a shoulder issue for months, shows real resilience and skill. It’s a huge testament to his game.
