We have another Patty Mills sighting!
The Aussie veteran has gotten some extended run in the Atlanta Hawks’ clash with the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday (all times AEDT) – and made it count.
Mills played an already season-high nine minutes in the first half of the contest, hitting a three with two assists and a steal, while he was the only Hawk with a positive plus/minus at +2.

“That’s the Patty Mills we know,” Hawks commentator Dominique Wilkins said after his three-pointer in the second quarter.
It comes with Atlanta missing two starters in Trae Young and Jalen Johnson as it looks to snap a two-game losing streak.
Mills, 35, has endured a difficult season in his first in Atlanta since being traded multiple times in the off-season.
He’s played just one other regular season game, scoring three points in five minutes in a game against Washington last month.
Atlanta trails Philadelphia 92-93 at the end of the third quarter, with De’Andre Hunter’s 21 points leading all Hawks starters in double figures, while Joel Embiid has 30 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks in another dominant showing from the star centre.
MORE TO COME.
