Friday, Andrej Lemanis, the Head Coach of the Australian Men’s National team, said that the team had reached out to San Antonio Spurs point guard Patty Mills about playing in the upcoming FIBA Oceania championship this week, but he had not yet received word yet from Mills.
Monday morning, according to Fox Sports News, Mills has arrived in Melbourne, Australia, and he will indeed suit up with the Boomers, since the team has a roster spot open due to the loss of Utah Jazz guard Dante Exum, who sustained an ACL injury last week in exhibition play.
