Hornets’ Brandon Miller exits Celtics clash with groin soreness

The Charlotte Hornets were already without Kon Knueppel against the Boston Celtics amid a hamstring problem. And the Hornets’ frontcourt got even thinner after Brandon Miller also went down during the game. Per ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, Miller will not return to the game after exiting early due to right groin soreness. Miller left to the locker room midway through the second quarter with the Hornets already down big to Boston, 47-23. Prior to exiting, Miller had scored eight points on 3-of-10 shooting with two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 14 minutes of action.
