Overview
- Miller, who had surgery Wednesday, was ruled out indefinitely with no return timetable as the team said it expects a full recovery.
- The procedure addresses a left shoulder that partially dislocated on October 25, which cost him 13 straight games early in the season.
- He returned wearing a protective wrap and still logged 65 starts with averages of 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.
- Charlotte’s results underscored his value, going 41–24 when he played compared with 3–14 without him during the club’s best season in a decade.
- The timing matters this offseason because he is eligible for a rookie‑scale extension, and it follows a 2024–25 campaign cut short by a wrist ligament tear.
