MIKE CONLEY NEWS

Dealing with toe sprain Conley is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors due to a left great toe sprain.

Impact This is a new injury for the veteran, whose only absence this season was attributed to rest purposes during the second night of a back-to-back set. Donte DiVincenzo (back) is also questionable, so if both guards are sidelined, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely be in store for a major workload against Toronto.

Not on injury report Conley (rest) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Kings.

Impact The veteran floor general was rested for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, but he should be ready to go Friday and is likely to recover his place in the starting lineup. Conley is averaging 7.4 points and 4.7 assists per game this season, and his expected return to the lineup will likely send Nickeil Alexander-Walker back to a bench role.

Resting Wednesday Conley won't play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to rest purposes.

Impact Conley has failed to score in double figures in three straight games, playing less than 24 minutes in each of those contests. After a disappointing loss to Portland on Tuesday, the veteran point guard will rest during Wednesday's rematch, allowing Donte DiVincenzo, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Rob Dillingham to likely see increased roles. Conley should be back in action Friday in Sacramento.

Posts double-double Thursday Conley registered 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and 11 assists across 26 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Bulls.

Impact Conley delivered his best game of the season Thursday after notching season-high marks in both points and assists. Even though the veteran is a capable starter and an excellent distributor, this was his first game with more than six dimes in the campaign, which might lead to believe this kind of output isn't really sustainable on a long-term basis. The numbers aren't flashy by any means, but Conley has now scored at least nine points in five of his last six games.

Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley bothered by pesky left wrist injury “When I’m 50, I’ll get surgery, not right now,” the 37-year-old said ahead of his team’s matchup against the Nuggets.

Quiet scoring night Conley produced nine points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 120-114 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Conley matched Donte DiVincenzo with six assists while Julius Randle had a team-high of seven. Rookie point guard Rob Dillingham did not play in Tuesday's contest.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in season debut Conley provided five points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Conley didn't take a shot in the first half and was generally uninvolved on both sides of the ball. He ended up taking a seat for good early in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who had a more productive game overall. Conley's job is safe for now, but continued struggles could send more court time Alexander-Walker's way.

Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley turns 37, starts 18th NBA season Coach Chris Finch thinks Conley will play fewer minutes this season so he can be at his peak in the spring.

OCTOBER 22 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Cleared for Opening Night Conley (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Conley received a night off Thursday in his team's final preseason matchup, but he'll be ready to go for Tuesday's regular-season opener. The 37-year-old will begin the 2024-25 campaign as Minnesota's starting point guard after averaging 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 76 regular-season appearances a year ago.

Inactive Thursday Conley won't play in Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to rest purposes.

Starting Wednesday Conley (rest) will play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Bulls.

Impact Conley got a scheduled rest day Sunday and, as expected, is back in the starting lineup Wednesday. The point guard is entering his 18th NBA season, and he averaged 11.4 points, 5.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game last year across 28.9 minutes per game.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Scheduled day off Sunday Conley (rest) has been ruled out of Sunday's preseason matchup against the Knicks.

Impact Conley will get a scheduled day of rest as the Timberwolves still have two preseason games remaining after Sunday. The veteran's next chance to suit up during the preseason will come Wednesday against the Bulls.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Will have rest days in 2024-25 Coach Chris Finch told Conley this offseason that he won't play as many games as he did last year, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact At 36 years old, Conley made 76 regular-season appearances, his most since 2012-13, and played in 15 of Minnesota's 16 playoff games. While Conley was excellent in his role last year, Finch clearly thinks that many appearances won't be sustainable for the veteran point guard. Fantasy managers should anticipate rest days when drafting Conley, who might have a similar setup as Al Horford has had in Boston over the last couple of years.

Good to go for Game 5 Conley (Achilles) will play in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against Dallas on Thursday.

Impact For the seventh game in a row, Conley will play through his right soleus strain. With Minnesota facing elimination with a loss, it's not a surprise to see Conley power through his injury again.

MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Game 5 Conley (Achilles) is questionable for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against the Mavericks on Thursday.

Impact Conley continues to deal with a right soleus strain, but he's been able to suit for six straight matchups after missing Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus Denver. He's averaged 13.5 points, 4.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 32.3 minutes per game over the first four games versus Dallas and is unlikely to face limitations if he's cleared to play again Thursday.

Impact Conley struggled a bit from three-point range, but he excelled in other areas, mainly as a playmaker and on the defensive end, as his four steals set the tone for Minnesota when it comes to disrupting the passing lanes. Conley has been hampered by an Achilles injury throughout the series, but he's still averaging 13.5 points, 4.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in this Western Conference Finals.

MAY 29 • ROTOWIRE
