Hornets face deadline to extend Brandon Miller before free agency

The Charlotte Hornets have a looming Oct. 19 deadline to reach a contract extension with Brandon Miller, a key player from the 2023 draft class. Currently unsigned, Miller stands to become a restricted free agent next summer if no deal is finalized. Other first-round picks, including Anthony Black and Cason Wallace, are also awaiting extensions, while notable players like Victor Wembanyama and Brandin Podziemski have already signed long-term agreements. Following trades involving LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, extending Miller is seen as vital for the Hornets as they build their future roster.
