Patty Mills Signs with Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz have signed veteran point guard Patty Mills to a one-year, $3.3 million guaranteed contract, reuniting him with head coach Will Hardy. Mills, who turned 36 last week, will be entering his 16th NBA season, having previously played for the Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks, and Miami Heat. Despite a decline in his NBA performance last season, Mills demonstrated his enduring skills during the 2024 Paris Olympics, averaging 16.5 points per game. The Jazz expect Mills to provide veteran leadership and stability for their young team. This signing aligns with Utah's strategy of maintaining salary cap flexibility for the next season.
