Who is Brandon Miller? Alabama basketball star allegedly involved in supplying gun used for murder
Brandon Miller has been one of the most impressive freshmen in college basketball this season. The Alabama Crimson Tide star is trending as a potential Top-3 selection in the 2023 NBA draft.
Miller has found himself in the news for the wrong reasons as of Tuesday morning. Earlier this season, Alabama teammate Darius Miles was charged with capital murder. In a recent testimony, it was revealed that Miles had texted Brandon Miller to bring the gun that was used in the incident.
According to reports, authorities have not found any information that would put Miller towards being arrested. Alabama head coach Nate Oats even went on to say that Miller was simply "in the wrong spot at the wrong time."
“College kids are out. Brandon hasn’t been in any type of trouble nor is he in any type of trouble in this case. Wrong spot at the wrong time.”
