The Charlotte Hornets have agreed on a five-year, $209 million contract with guard/forward Brandon Miller, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the team hadn't announced the agreement. Miller has averaged 19 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game over his first three seasons. He shot 37.3% from 3-point range.

Last season, he averaged 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while dealing with a shoulder injury. The 23-year-old is expected to take on an even bigger scoring load this season after the Hornets traded LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
