Why isn't Patty Mills playing Summer League?

Why isnt Patty playing?

With De Colo n Joeseph both playing and both ahead of him on the roatation, surely this would have been a great chance for him to get some burn n try get some more mins come the NBA season.

Probably because he's coming into his 5th NBA season. Also, isn't he injured?

Cause Patty is arrogant and believes he is above it! Hopefully Lemanis doesn't pick him for Oceania series on the back the bloke has had no court time in 12months! KARMA

Ease up, anon, it has already been established that he had a toe injury and needs time to recover. The guy can play, give him a chance to prove it once he is fit enough again...

To allow the player to make money for themselves? Or for the NBA club to make money in the deal? I guess the risk of injury to that player would outweigh any possible financial gain, and it's not like NBA owners are exactly short of cash.

Pop wouldn't risk injury to Patty in summer league. Would love to see Patty put on a clinic in summer league but they just don't put the good players in.

Joseph they want to focus on scoring this Summer League. Much the same as they did with Special K last Summer League.

De Colo they are wanting to see how his game goes outside pg duties.

Anon do you even watch basketball? Patty has dominated two Olympics now - one unforgettable match with the USA in which he dominated CP3. He made the ESPN All-London Second Five for the most recent Olympics and the highest scoring average with 21.2 points per game. He has the record for the most points by an Australian player in the NBA. He had a stellar NBL stint. His college career was huge with WCC player of player of the year and months among many other awards.

Just because he spent some time on the bench towel waving this year on the second best team in the league does not mean he is not a good player.

His form in London showed he is a streak shooter who isn't very reliable but is unstoppable when hot.
