Trail Blazers recall Mills from NBADL
The Portland Trail Blazers have recalled rookie guard Patrick Mills from the NBA Development League's Idaho Stampede.
Mills was assigned to the Stampede on Dec. 29, and had 38 points and 12 assists in his debut on New Year's Day. He scored 22 points against the Reno Bighorns on Sunday, and his put-back with 1.2 seconds left gave the Stampede a 109-108 win.
The Trail Blazers announced the move late Sunday on their Web site.
Mills, who broke his right foot during practice for the NBA Summer League, was the No. 55 overall pick in the 2009 draft after a standout career at St. Mary's. He's expected to join the Trail Blazers in time for Monday's game at the Los Angeles Clippers.
