Mills surgery successful, now 4-6 month recovery
I decided to create a new thread for this as a lot of people seem to take an interest and may not notice using the old thread.
Mills undergoes successful surgery: Rookie point guard Patrick Mills, who fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the Blazers' second summer league practice, underwent successful surgery Monday.
Pritchard said doctors inserted a screw to repair the foot and Mills is expected to miss four to six months. That eliminates any chance at a training camp invitation for Mills, but Pritchard refused to address his future with the team. The Blazers selected Mills with their last pick of last month's draft, No.55 overall.
"Feel really bad for the kid," Pritchard said. "He's a great kid and a high-energy guy who came in looking to really make an impression on us. It was just an unfortunate accident."
That's all the relevant info from the article about Mills - for those that are interested their is also info on Sean May and Millsap in the article - Full Article
Where do people think that will leave Mills - 4-6 months is a long time, but it appears the Pritchard is somewhat keen on Mills and could have him in the back of his mind for the 10/11 season?
