Will be out a while Head coach Penny Hardaway was not optimistic on the outlook of Mills' injury after Thursday's win and expects him to be out a while, John Martin of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Hardaway did also mention they think Mills may have torn his patella tendon, but they won't know for sure until they run some tests. What they do know is that they will be missing one of their key contributors for quite some time. More on Mills' injury should come to light in the next few days and he should be considered out indefinitely.

Active Thursday at Tulsa Mills (hip) is active for Thursday's game at Tulsa, Parth Upadhyaya of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Mills suffered a hip injury during Saturday's win over Appalachian State but it does not appear to be serious enough to keep him out of Thursday's game. It is unclear how much he will play Thursday -- he averages just over 25 minutes per game -- or if he will be limited in any capacity.

Questionable at Tulsa Mills (hip) is questionable for Memphis' game Thursday at Tulsa, according to Jason Munz of The Commercial Appeal.

Impact According to Parth Upadhyaya of The Daily Memphian, Mills suffered the hip injury during Memphis' game Saturday against Austin Peay, hence his questionable status Thursday. Because the Tigers have not publicized a decision concerning his availability just yet, chances are high it comes down to a game-time decision.

Provides spark off bench Mills closed with 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 77-54 victory over Virginia.

Impact After scoring just four points on 1-of-6 shooting in Memphis' previous contest, Mills led the Tigers in bench scoring during Tuesday's blowout win. The senior guard has tallied at least one steal in five straight games, including two multi-steal outings.

Solid outing in start Mills closed with 10 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 92-75 victory over Alabama State.

Impact Mills and Jordan Brown replaced Malcolm Dandridge and Nick Jourdain in the starting lineup Friday. The senior guard actually played fewer minutes than his previous appearance when he came off the bench. Regardless, Mills figures to be a key rotation piece for Memphis' backcourt.

Dealing with tendinitis Mills (undisclosed) has been dealing with tendinitis, according to Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Impact It is unclear if Mills suffered from tendinitis Monday, which could explain his lineup absence and/or inefficient shooting (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt) against Jacksonville State. What is even more unclear is his availability status for Friday, as the Memphis-based Tigers are expected to play at Missouri then.

Left out of starting five Mills is not in the starting five in advance of Monday's season opener against Jackson State, Parth Upadhyaya of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Instead, the Tigers are rolling out a starting lineup composed of Jahvon QUinerly, Jaykwon Walton, David Jones, Nick Jourdain and Malcolm Dandridge, which is a different alignment than exhibition play, which featured Mills. It's unclear if this will be the normal starting five this season, or if there is any injury in play.

Returns to starting five in loss Mills finished Saturday's 82-60 loss to Virginia Tech with 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 30 minutes.

Impact Mills reprised his usual role in the Seminoles' starting lineup after making a surprise appearance off the bench in the Feb. 27 loss to UNC. The fourth-year guard finishes the 2022-23 regular season averaging 13.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals across 31 games. Mills will look to log his 31st start of the season during Tuesday's matchup against Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament.

Solid all-around effort Mills recorded 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 77-66 loss to North Carolina.

Impact The Seminoles lost by 11 points, but Mills still delivered a solid all-around effort while contributing with multiple tallies in four major categories. Mills is averaging 13.3 points, 3.9 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game in February and has scored in double digits in four of his last five games.

Scores season-high 27 points Mills closed Saturday's 75-69 loss to Boston College with 27 points (5-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 17-21 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes.

Impact Mills hadn't been playing well of late, with three single-digit scoring performances over his last five games and just one outing in which he reached the 15-point mark during that span, but he bounced back admirably here and registered his best scoring numbers of the season. Mills has been a regular double-digit scorer for the Seminoles, however, so it wasn't surprising to see him get out of this funk so efficiently.

FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong all-around outing Mills amassed 16 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 83-75 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Mills has had some subpar performances of late, and he didn't have his best shooting performance here, but he still salvaged his fantasy performance after putting up solid numbers in other categories. He's averaging 12.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game over his last 10 contests.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

12th-straight in double figures Mills supplied 15 points (4-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Saturday's 82-81 loss to Clemson.

Impact Mills is one of three active double-digit scorers on a struggling Florida State team, checking in at third with a 13.1 ppg average. What's been most commendable is his consistency, as Mills has reached double figures for the Seminoles in 12 consecutive games. That said, his shooting percentage (41.6) and three-point shooting (32.4) are both down a few percentage points from a season ago, though his ancillary status (3.0 rpg, 3.4 apg) are both up a tick. It's been a forgettable season for Mills and Florida State overall as the team looks to rebound from a 1-9 start to the year. ACC play has been a bit better, at least, as FSU owns a 5-6 record in conference games.
