Miller cleared for camp after shoulder surgery, shin scare

Brandon Miller is cleared for full-contact work after May shoulder surgery and a precautionary shin contusion that kept him out of one preseason game.

Marc Stein and Jake Fischer report he is still projected to land a rookie extension that could exceed $200 million over five years. Miller is set to take on a bigger playmaking role after Charlotte traded LaMelo Ball to Minnesota.
