Patty Mills has found a new home in the NBA. 

The Australian veteran is signing a one-year deal with the Utah Jazz, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. 

In Utah, Mills reunites with head coach Will Hardy, who served as an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs from 2015-2021 while Mills was on the roster.

The Sporting News breaks down Mills’ deal and his fit with the Jazz below.

Patty Mills contract details

Mills has agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Jazz that is fully guaranteed through the end of the 2024-25 season. 

The Aussie was an unrestricted free agent after spending the second half of last season with the Miami Heat after being cut but the Atlanta Hawks. 

Jazz gain veteran leadership with Mills signing 

At his best, Mills has proven over the years to be an explosive microwave scorer off the bench and while minutes have been hard to come by in the last couple seasons, he was productive for the Nets in 2021-22, averaging 11.4 points and 2.3 assists in 29.0 minutes. That season he appeared in 81 games, including 48 starts. 

While the 36-year-old comes to Utah as an experienced locker room presence on a young squad, he showed this summer at the 2024 Paris Olympics, he still has plenty of points in him, where he was the Boomers’ second-leading scorer with 16.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game on 40.9 percent from the 3-point line. 

In the Aussie’s quarter-final loss to Serbia, Mills wound back the clock with 26 points on 11-of-21 shooting, coming up with his trademark heroics to send the game to OT.  

The Jazz have one of the youngest rosters in the league this season, coming off a 31-51 season and Mills’ championship-level experience will no doubt go a long way in helping the development of some of their young guards in Keyonte George (20 years old), Isaiah Collier (19) and Johnny Juzang (23), and Kira Lewis Jr. (23).
