Bad luck to Dante Exum and the Jazz but injuries can happen anywhere and any how.

So glad to see Mills in the green and gold again.

Surprised that he wasn't on the team in the first place.

Ugh! I cringe every time I see one of our guys on a national team. I understand why they do it but I just close my eyes and pray for it to be over.

The Aussie coach said that players had to play in their warm up games to get a spot in the series against NZ.
Mills wasn't cleared by Spurs before their Euro tour so he wasn't in the squad.

Changed his mind after the Exum injury, now one of our backup PG Damian Martin is injured as well.
So Mills could be getting a lot of minutes in the 2 games against NZ.
