Hornets extend Brandon Miller on reported five-year deal
NBA.com reported a $209 million value, while Charlotte said the contract terms were not disclosed.
On October 19, 2026, NBA.com reported that the Charlotte Hornets had announced a multiyear contract extension for Brandon Miller ahead of a Monday deadline.
The report put the deal at five years and $209 million. Charlotte said the terms were not disclosed, so the reported value was not confirmed by the team.
A major role in Charlotte
Miller, a guard-forward selected second overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, has averaged 19.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists across his three seasons with Charlotte, according to the team information included in the NBA.com report.
In the 2025-26 campaign, he averaged a team-leading 20.2 points in 65 appearances, all starts. The report also said he made at least three three-pointers per game and ranked ninth in the NBA in free-throw percentage, at 89.2%.
Production and recognition
Miller was named to the 2023-24 All-Rookie First Team and finished third in Rookie of the Year voting, the report said. During the 2025-26 season, he earned his first Eastern Conference Player of the Week award after averaging 26.3 points across four appearances.
The Hornets said Miller set a franchise record with a run of 22 consecutive games featuring multiple made three-pointers. He also led Charlotte with 18 games of at least 25 points that season.
Contract terms remain unconfirmed by the team
The announcement secures Miller on a multiyear extension, but Charlotte's statement did not specify the length or financial terms. The five-year, $209 million figure comes from NBA.com's report and should be distinguished from the team's announcement.
NBA.com also reported that Miller was expected to take on a larger scoring role following the Hornets' trade of LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Newsroom
The extension announcement keeps the focus on Miller's role in Charlotte, while the deal's reported value remains separate from the terms confirmed by the team.
