Australian Star Patty Mills Ignites Liga Endesa on Debut
All eyes were on Australian veteran Patty Mills for his highly anticipated debut in Spain's Liga Endesa. The 37-year-old guard, with an impressive 921 NBA games under his belt, hadn't played professionally since June 2025, having taken on the role of general manager for the University of Hawaii's team. His return to the court certainly did not disappoint.
His performance was dazzling: in just four minutes, he had already racked up 8 points, showcasing perfect shooting from the field and the free-throw line, including a superb three-pointer. By the end of the third quarter, his tally already stood at 22 points. His final stat line was truly impressive: 24 points (shooting 2/4 on two-pointers, 4/6 on three-pointers, and 8/8 on free throws), achieving an efficiency rating of 22.
This achievement marks a new scoring record for a debutant in Liga Endesa in the 21st century. It's clear that Patty Mills is a rookie of a very special kind.
