Charlotte Hornets<\/a> forward Brandon Miller<\/a>, who left early in Saturday’s game with left shoulder soreness, has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Washington Wizards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-8 forward, who was the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NBA draft behind San Antonio Spurs<\/a> phenom Victor Wembanyama<\/a>, immediately walked off the court<\/a> and back to Charlotte’s locker room with 10:50 remaining in the second quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
