Patty Mills stuck in Limbo? Or an Austin Toro?

Still nothing on the Spurs website on Patty Mills, there is in fact news on them signing the point guard from their D-League affiliate (Austin Toros) on a 10 day.
I suspect patty is going to replace him as the D-league point guard back up, back up. Gets so frustrating when people get so excited about rumours.
My bet, Patty Mills will be on the bench for the Austin Toros in the D-league.

I am not a Patty hater, I am a massive fan and will be happy for him if he does end up an Austin Toro. Im just tired of being told he is going to back up Tony Parker. Show me the news on the Spurs website, not a news/rumour site. Straight from the horses (or spurs) mouth. I know Patty has apparently facebooked the news, but this still doesn't make it a fact.

howdy - do some basic research if you are that interested in the topic. There are direct quotes from Popovich in regards to Mills. He is signed by the Spurs and expected to play immediately.

Popovich has expressed frustration that the visa issue has taken so long to resolve.

There's a difference between a rumour and credible reporting that includes direct quotes from the coach.

By the way - does this really deserve a new thread?

The Box Score for the game against the Hornets shows Mills as Inactive. That indicates that he has been signed by the Spurs, but, as stated previously the visa issue is delaying his playing. Comments indicate that he will play as soon as cleared.

Today's box score for the game against the 76ers has Patty listed as playing

"I admit it: I thought this was the season that the Spurs, with such limited flexibility to change their team, could finally be written off. So naturally they've managed to strengthen a supporting cast that was already underrated by importing Jack, Diaw and Patty Mills ... moves that even have Tim Duncan talking big."
