The Charlotte Hornets have agreed to a significant contract extension with forward Brandon Miller, according to WSOC-TV. The deal spans five years and is worth $209 million.

Brandon Miller was selected by the Hornets as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft, marking him as a key player for the franchise, Bleacher Report noted.

This extension follows the Hornets' earlier decision to exercise Miller's $15.1 million player option for the 2026-27 season, which provided short-term stability but left open the possibility of restricted free agency in 2027-28, Bleacher Report added.

The contract reflects the Hornets' commitment to Miller as a cornerstone of their team moving forward, as reported by multiple outlets including WSOC-TV and Bleacher Report.
