Charlotte Hornets Dealt Another Blow as Miller Exits NBA Cup With Injury

Charlotte's Friday evening clash against the Boston Celtics was marred by another roster disruption when Miller exited the contest after just 14 minutes of play due to right groin soreness. The guard did not return to the game as the Hornets found themselves trailing significantly, down 47-23 at the point of his departure.
Miller's premature exit marks the latest injury complication for the franchise during the NBA Cup phase of the season. The incident comes as the Hornets continue their struggle through the early portion of the campaign, their 3-6 record placing them among the league's underperformers.
The team's injury management challenges have been compounded by the ongoing recovery status of other roster players. Knueppel remains in the rehabilitation phase as the franchise works to restore full squad fitness.
The Hornets will now face the challenge of regrouping without Miller's immediate availability while managing the broader health concerns affecting their competitive depth during this critical phase of the season.
