Mills (illness) is off the Clippers' injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Mills missed the last four games of the regular season while battling an illness, but he's recovered enough from that bout to be available for Saturday's contest. He saw sparse minutes off the bench for much of the season, but Mills brings veteran experience that the Clippers could lean on during their postseason run.

Clippers' Patty Mills: On fire in late-game cameo
Rotowire
Mills posted 14 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and was charged with two fouls while playing the final 6:45 of Friday's 132-100 win over the Nets.
With the Clippers building a commanding 36-point lead after three quarters, head coach Tyronn Lue pulled most of the team's key rotation players from the game early in the fourth quarter, allowing Mills to finish the contest. The 36-year-old guard caught fire during his abbreviated time on the court, achieving a new season-high scoring total. Despite the big outing off the bench, Mills is unlikely to crack the rotation in competitive games anytime soon, as the Clippers value him mostly as a vetmainlyeader in the locker room than as an on-court contributor.

Clippers' Patty Mills: Won't debut Sunday
Rotowire
Mills won't make his Clippers debut Sunday against the Raptors with his trade from Utah not yet finalize, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Mills was involved in a four-player deal Saturday, with Drew Eubanks also heading to Los Angeles and P.J. Tucker, Mo Bamba, a 2030 second-round pick and cash going back to Utah. Neither Mills nor Eubanks will join the team ahead of Sunday's game in Toronto, but both players could be cleared to make their Clippers debuts Tuesday versus the Lakers at the Intuit Dome. Mills averaged 15.3 minutes per game over his 17 appearances with Utah this season, but he may not be in line for a regular spot in the LA rotation.

Clippers' Patty Mills: Shipped to LA
Rotowire
The Clippers acquired Mills and Drew Eubanks from the Jazz on Saturday in exchange for P.J. Tucker, Mo Bamba, a 2030 second-round pick and cash, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Mills didn't fit Utah's youth movement, so he will now have an opportunity to compete for backup minutes for a Clippers team in the playoff race. The 36-year-old guard averaged 4.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.3 minutes across 17 appearances with the Jazz. Mills was inefficient during his limited opportunities in Utah, shooting just 34.2 percent from the field and 29.8 percent from three-point range.
Mills totaled 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and one assist over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 loss to the Hornets.
Mills didn't log a single minute from Nov. 12 through Jan. 4 but has now appeared in five of Utah's last six outings. The veteran guard's uptick in playing time can largely be attributed to the absences of Collin Sexton (rest), Jordan Clarkson (foot) and Johnny Juzang (hand). However, Mills has struggled with his efficiency over this span, shooting just 34.2 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from three.
