    For injuries, tape. For low-risk investments, CDs.

    This sucks. Feel bad for Patty, the guy was all excited to be in the NBA and playing for us and he can't even make it past the first day of Summer League practice. Ugh!

    Re: Patty Mills Breaks Foot

    Just some sarcastic commentary on us passing on Blair because of injury concerns, when in fact we have little idea how that will play out with him or others, as evidenced by Mills going down the first day of practice.

    Re: Patty Mills Breaks Foot

    Fair enough. But, you are steering the conversation into somewhat logical and calm pastures. This will not do. You need some clever picture to spice up the thread and drive your point. ;)

    That is some bad news. Watch this youtube clip of Mills. He needs to work on his shooting form.

    Re: Mills breaks foot!

    Humans just weren't made to carry that much weight. At almost six feet tall, his body has literally been stretched beyond the limits of what humans can be. This sort of injury is sad but one that we all should have seen coming when we're talking about such a giant.

    Blazers draft pick Mills breaks footComment Email Print Share Associated Press

    PORTLAND, Ore. -- 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. A timetable for the point guard's return has not been determined.



    Mills

    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."

    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.

    The Blazers' roster for the summer league includes second-year guard Jerryd Bayless and draft picks Jeff Pendergraph and Dante Cunningham.
