San Antonio Spurs reserve guard Patty Mills agreed Wednesday to a new three-year deal in the $12 million range with the NBA's freshly minted champions, according to sources close to the process.
ESPN.com reported late Tuesday that Mills and the Spurs were close to reaching agreement on a new contract despite the fact that San Antonio's off-the-bench perimeter spark plug just learned that he needs shoulder surgery that is expected to sideline him until at least January.
