SAN ANTONIO – Spurs backup point guard Patty Mills is set to return to action Tuesday night against Minnesota after an injured left calf forced him to miss Saturday’s loss to Phoenix in Mexico City.
“It was a precautionary thing, making sure stuff doesn’t get worse,” Mills said. “That’s the best thing that we do, managing everyone and everyone’s play and niggling injuries so that we can last a whole season.”
While Mills has the green light to play after participating in Monday’s two-hour practice, rookie point guard Dejounte Murray will miss his second-straight game with a sprained right ankle.
