News about Patty Mills

It is officially time to celebrate - when it comes to the leading Olympic country per capita based on the top 10 places from the current medal tally - Australia (pictured left and right) is the world yardstick ahead of the Netherlands and France.

In his last Games outing, Patty Mills was immense as Australia burst out of the blocks, the five-time Olympian then hitting a clutch bucket to take their Paris quarter-final to overtime.

A shocking 28-12 second quarter saw Australia down as many as 19 points - a margin that would have guaranteed an early exit.

The food requirements Australia's athletes need as they chase Olympic gold in Paris has been revealed - and it is nothing short of staggering. From three tonnes of tuna to 10,000 muesli bars, the likes of star basketballer Patty Mills and pool queen Emma McKeon (pictured right) won't go hungry.

In the first quarter of the Golden State Warriors game against Orlando Magic, Draymond Green has been suspended. Green had been arguing with authorities, first for a personal foul and then for a shooting foul. It comes a day after Green appeared to grab Miami Heat guard Patty Mills by the neck and drag him down, and three months after he recovered from an indefinite suspension for striking Jusuf Nurkic of the Phoenix Suns in the chest.

Green wasn't too keen on refs who wanted to investigate the common foul after a whistle was blown, as he went up to consult them, pleading his innocence before they went over to the review pages. In his first press conference since recovering from his lengthy suspension, the 34-year-old, two-time NBA champion, who admitted that he was considering dropping basketball during his suspension back in December, promised to improve himself on the court. Green's allegations are, however, controversial by some Greens supporters.

On Friday night, Australian NBA star Patty Mills and his glamorous wife Alyssa made an impressive red carpet appearance.
