Breaking News - Mills Injured
Breaking News....
The hopes of seeing Patty Mills rip up the NBA Summer League alongside Jerryd Bayless have come to a complete halt, with Patty fracturing his foot in the 2nd training session with the summer league team inside the Blazers practice facility.
The Blazers said Friday that Mills fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during practice Thursday night. A timetable for the point guard's return has not been determined.
Mills was scheduled to see a specialist on Friday.
"You never want to see a player get injured, but it is especially heart wrenching to see a young man go down on his first day of camp," Portland general manager Kevin Pritchard said. "We'll do everything we can to help Patty get back on track to realize his NBA future."
This is a serious blow to Mills, as I believe a strong showing at the summer league would have led to a spot in the Blazers 15 man squad.
With only Bayless and Steve Blake as PG's on the roster, Mills had a very good chance of gaining a roster spot.
I hope everything works out for Patty and that he has a speedy recovery...
