Brandon Miller (Charlotte Hornets)
October 2025
Miller left clutching his left shoulder in the second quarter and was ruled out after nine minutes (four points). The 2023 No.2 pick, eyeing a breakout after last season’s long wrist-ligament layoff, had opened 2025–26 with 25 points vs Brooklyn. Charlotte will reassess, mindful of prior absences and a central scoring role alongside LaMelo Ball’s playmaking.
Golden State Warriors
September 2025
With only nine players under contract and Kuminga’s RFA standoff ongoing, Golden State are linked with a reunion for Kelly Oubre Jr. The 76ers reportedly open to movement; Warriors could use a trade exception to add wing scoring. Oubre’s downhill punch and switchable size complement Curry/Hield/Podziemski spacing, even if efficiency fluctuates. If Kuminga opts for the qualifying offer, flexibility tightens; adding veteran athleticism becomes more urgent as camp nears and bench creation remains thin.
