The San Antonio Spurs are finalizing an agreement with Jim Boylen to become an assistant coach.

Boylen has been an assistant coach with the Indiana Pacers since 2011.

Boylen was previously head coach of the Utah Jazz.

Ryan Richards will participate on the San Antonio Spurs' Summer League team.

Richards was drafted in 2010 by the Spurs.

The San Antonio Spurs announced guard Patty Mills has exercised his player option and will return to the team next season.

In 74 games with the Spurs, Mills has averaged 6.2 points, 1.4 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 12.4 minutes.

Mills was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 55th pick in the 2009.

The Philadelphia 76ers have received permission to interview Brett Brown for their head coach vacancy, according to sources.

Brown met with the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.

Brown has been an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs for the past seven seasons.

Brett Brown is a serious candidate for the Denver Nuggets' head coaching vacancy, according to sources.

Brown met with Josh Kroenke and new general manager Tim Connelly in Denver on Sunday.

Brown has been an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs for seven seasons. Brown is expected to become Gregg Popovich's top assistant if he stays with the Spurs following the departure of Mike Budenholzer.

Melvin Hunt has also interviewed for the position following meetings with Lionel Hollins, Brian Shaw and Vinny Del Negro.

The San Antonio Spurs are unlikely to make significant changes to their roster after losing Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

“People have been telling us we need to get younger 15 years ago,” Gregg Popovich said. “At one point I guess we will be too old. Who knows when that is? Going to the conference finals last year and the Finals this year proves something is going right. I think we’ll just stay on course with the way we do things.”

Popovich is confident the Spurs will be motivated to contend again next season.

“(This year) reminded me, and Timmy (Duncan) and Tony (Parker) and Manu (Ginobili) again, we forgot how hard it is to get there,” he said. “It took forever to play all those games. So that was a big revelation for us. We just whipped through it in the past. This year, it was like, ‘My gosh, did we really do this four times?’

“So why not try to do it again? That’s what we’re here for. We will or we won’t, but we’ll certainly give it our best effort.”

Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals had a 17.7 overnight rating, a strong finish for ABC after the initial four games of the series had somewhat disappointing viewership.

The game ranks second since ABC began carrying the Finals, trailing Game 7 in 2010 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. That game between two teams with bigger markets and a more storied history had an 18.2 rating.

The telecast on Thursday peaked at a 22.6 rating between 11:30 PM and 11:45 PM EST.
