Aussies Abroad: Mills begins new European chapter

Australian Boomers star Patty Mills has signed with LDLC ASVEL in France.

The 37-year-old will reunite with former NBA championship teammate Tony Parker, who he played alongside at the San Antonio Spurs.

The club released a statement announcing the news on Tuesday, Australian time.

“The Australian point guard joins Villeurbanne with exceptional experience at the highest international level. An NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014 and an iconic figure for the Boomers, Patty Mills will bring his talent, experience, and leadership, built over nearly two decades at the highest level, to the Villeurbanne team,” the statement said.

Mills is currently in Melbourne as part of an Australian Boomers mini-camp as the team prepares for the 2027 FIBA World Cup and 2028 Olympic Games.
