PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)—Portland Trail Blazers draft pick Patty Mills broke his right foot during practice and won’t play in the NBA’s summer league.

The Blazers said Friday that Mills fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during practice Thursday night. He will have surgery on his foot on Monday, the team announced.

A timetable for the point guard’s return has not been determined.

“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.”

After starring for Australia in the Beijing Olympics and for Saint Mary’s in college, Mills was selected by the Blazers with the 55th overall pick in the NBA draft last month.

The 6-foot, 175-pound Mills averaged career highs of 18.7 points, 4.0 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 2.5 steals during his sophomore season with the Gaels before deciding to turn pro.

Thursday was Portland’s first day of practice for the summer league, which starts Friday in Las Vegas. The Blazers open play Monday against Toronto.




Blazers been "on the bubble" since I was mothafuckin' born.

lmao where did i root for him to get hurt? I can joke about it as much as i like, why? because I broke my knee badly enough to where I couldnt play sports no more in high school, this foot injury is not career threatening like mine was, at least he went to college offa it. Aint like hes a high school dropout.
