Mills (illness) won't play in Friday's game versus the Raptors, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mills has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday with a non-COVID illness. The veteran guard's next chance to suit up is Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Patty Mills missed Thursday's practice with a non-COVID illness and is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nets coach Jacque Vaughn said he is unsure if Mills will travel with the team, meaning he could also miss Sunday's matchup with Detroit. However, his absence will likely not affect the team's rotation, as Mills has played in only one of the Nets' last nine games.

Mills contributed 24 points (10-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 136-133 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Mills cobbled together his best overall performance this season, putting up solid contributions across multiple categories. With the Nets resting basically their entire starting five, Mills stepped into a significant role, proving he can still produce at an elite level when required. As with most of the guys who went off tonight, Mills' productive outburst is likely to come to a screeching halt Monday against the Wizards.

Mills is in the starting five for Saturday's matchup with the Pacers, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mills will enter the starting lineup Saturday with Kyrie Irving (thigh) and Joe Harris (ankle) out. Mills has come off the bench in all of his previous 20 appearances this season.

Mills recorded two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 13 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Mills continues to be more of an afterthought, scoring just two points in 13 minutes despite the heavy loss. Even with Seth Curry and Kyrie Irving on the sideline, Mills barely factored into the rotation, highlighting just what a struggle it has been for the sharpshooter. Based on his season numbers to date, he can safely be left for those in the deepest of formats.

Mills recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Mills failed to score for the first time all season and hoisted only two shots in his 18 minutes of action. He did finish with a season-high three assists and started the season with a pair of double-digit scoring efforts, so Mills could remain viable in daily fantasy and some deeper season-long formats.

Mills ended Wednesday's 130-108 loss to New Orleans with 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 23 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Mills came off the bench to score 16 points including four makes from beyond the perimeter. While this was a nice outing for Mills, managers need to account for the fact the Nets were without both Seth Curry and Joe Harris. Until such time as one or both of those players return to action, Mills should be viewed as a possible streaming consideration only.

Mills and the Nets agreed Thursday to a two-year, $14.5 million contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

At age 33, Mills had one of the most productive seasons of his career in 2021-22 -- his first year in Brooklyn. In 29.0 minutes per game, he averaged 11.4 points, 2.3 assists and 1.9 rebounds while shooting 40.0 percent from distance. After Kevin Durant requested a trade earlier Thursday, it's not entirely clear what Brooklyn's roster will look like next year. However, whatever the makeup, Mills should have a significant role as a microwave scorer off the bench.

Mills declined his $6.2 million player option Wednesday and will become a free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

In 29.0 minutes per game, he averaged 11.4 points, 2.3 assists and 1.9 rebounds while shooting 40.0 percent from distance. There are likely a myriad of contending teams interested in his services as a microwave scorer off the bench.

Mills will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

With Seth Curry (ankle) rejoining the starting five after a two-game absence, Mills will shift back to a reserve role. The veteran guard is averaging 11.4 points, 2.3 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 29.1 minutes per game this season.
