The NBA plans to come back into our lives on July 30th via a bubble in Orlando, Florida. Saint Mary’s College legend Patrick Mills is set to make $1,017,818.54 over the last 8 games of his regular season playing for the San Antonio Spurs and he announced on Wednesday that he’ll be donating ever cent of that money to social justice organizations that he feels worthy. These include “Black Lives in Custody,” “Black Lives Matter Australia,” and a campaign titled “We Got You” which is dedicated to ending racism in sport in Australia.
Starting in 2007, Mills played two seasons in Moraga for the Gaels of SMC before turning pro. His fabled number 13 was retired at McKeon Pavilion in 2015. It now hangs in the rafters next to Tom Meschery’s number 31 and Matthew Dellavedova’s number 4.
