Patty Mills' conditioning clause

Patty Mills is currently working through his rehab after having surgery in July to repair the torn right rotator cuff and he could return sometime in January. The Spurs re-signed Mills, despite the injury, to a three-year, $11 million contract as a way to show they like what he brings to the floor as the backup point guard. While the Spurs trust Mills to stay dedicated to the rehab process, there is a provision in his contract, via a "Likely" bonus, that provides incentive to stay on track.
