Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller spent Saturday morning hosting a youth basketball camp at Carolina Courts in Indian Trail, North Carolina. The event focused on teaching basketball fundamentals and the value of teamwork to the next generation of players. Miller's community work comes as the Hornets prepare for their preseason opener on October 6, following a recent stretch of improved form that includes a 110-96 victory over the New York Knicks on April 12, 2026.
Miller worked directly with kids on core basketball skills like shooting, dribbling, and passing. He stressed that being a good teammate is just as important as individual talent. "I'm blessed to be here to put on camps like this for kids just to help support their dreams," Miller said. He added that the goal was to have fun and build a little healthy competition. The camp provided a unique opportunity for young fans to learn from an NBA player who is a key part of the Hornets' future.
The Hornets' on-court performance provides a positive backdrop to Miller's community efforts. Their last five games show a record of three wins and two losses, with the most recent results being wins. After a tough 118-100 loss to the Detroit Pistons on April 10, the team bounced back strongly. They secured a convincing 110-96 home win against the New York Knicks on April 12. This followed a 113-102 road loss to the Boston Celtics on April 8.
Earlier in April, the team showed its offensive firepower. They defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 122-108 on the road on April 5. Just before that, they posted two high-scoring home victories, beating the Indiana Pacers 129-108 on April 3 and the Phoenix Suns 127-107 on April 2. This recent form of 3W-2L (WLLWW) indicates a team finding its rhythm as it looks ahead.
The immediate focus for the organization shifts fully to the upcoming 2026-27 NBA season. The Hornets will kick off their preseason schedule on October 6. Their regular season campaign then begins on October 21. These dates mark the official start of the next chapter for Miller and his teammates.

Miller's commitment to youth development in the Charlotte area is a significant part of the team's identity. Engaging with the community helps build a lasting connection with the fanbase. For a young player like Miller, these events are about more than basketball. They are about showing local kids that an NBA career is an achievable dream with hard work and dedication. The Hornets will hope the positive energy from community work and recent wins carries into their preseason preparations.
