The Charlotte Hornets agree to a five-year, $209 million rookie-scale contract extension with forward Brandon Miller, according to multiple outlets citing an AP source. One report notes the sides reach agreement on Monday ahead of the deadline for players from Miller’s draft class to sign an extension.
Miller is 23 years old and made a scoring impact last season, including a run in which he reached 20 points in a game. Several accounts describe the agreement as part of Charlotte’s plan for Miller’s development and expected increased role following a roster shift that included trading LaMelo Ball. While the terms are consistent across reports, some outlets emphasize that Charlotte has not announced the deal publicly, and that information comes from sources familiar with negotiations speaking on condition of anonymity.
