Charlotte Hornets They begin a tough back-to-back against the world champion Boston Celtics in an hour and will be without one of their best players.

Last night, Hornets fans were excited to see sophomore guard Brandon Miller listed as questionable on the team’s initial injury report, but his return will have to wait. The team decided to delay its return to action after completing pregame shootouts. But Miller has a chance to play in the back end of this two-game set with the Celtics tomorrow night.

With Miller out, the Hornets will once again need heavy contributions from the bench. Just a few nights earlier, the secondary had totaled 72 points in a win against the Toronto Raptors.

Hornets and Celtics will announce the developments tonight at 19:00 (EST).
