Patty Mills has written his name into the basketball history books as the first Australian to play 1000 NBA games.
The Boomers captain reached the milestone in Utah's 105-92 defeat of Orlando on Monday (AEDT), having joined the Jazz to help mentor their young playing roster this season.
Mills had last played for the Jazz in early November but earned a recall with Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George and John Collins all ruled out ahead of the clash with the Magic.
