Brandon Miller 's injury status vs. Mavericks

Given LeBron James is probable on the injury report, the assumption is he will be suiting up against the Mavericks. He would be the only player on the report to be active if he takes part in the matchup.

Miller is going through the third season of his NBA career with the Hornets. After an injury-riddled sophomore campaign, the young forward has made significant strides in helping the team win games.

Miller has been active for the last 11 games and 25 of the last 26 contests. His presence in the starting lineup has helped Charlotte improve in the win column, rolling with four consecutive wins. He is averaging 20.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game throughout 31 appearances this season. He is shooting 43.6% from the field, including 37.6% from beyond the arc, and 86.3% from the free-throw line.

However, he landed on the latest injury report for Charlotte's matchup against Dallas. He is probable despite dealing with pain in the left ankle.

So, when it comes to the question of if Brandon Miller is playing tonight against the Mavericks, the answer is probably.
