Opening season in bench role Conley will come off the bench to begin the season, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Impact The Timberwolves have instead decided that DiVincenzo will open the new year as their starting point guard. Conley's fantasy value was already on the decline ahead of his age-38 campaign, and it's likely going to be even more difficult for him to muster fantasy relevance from the second unit. Last regular season, the veteran floor general averaged just 5.6 points, 3.7 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per contest across six games off the bench.

Passive preseason continues Conley totaled just three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to the Bulls.
Impact Conley returned after missing Monday's game against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions, moving straight back into the starting lineup. While it was good to see the veteran back on the court, his production, or lack thereof, remains a concern. Now in the twilight of his career, it appears as though his days of being anything but a floor general are behind him. The hope is that Donte DiVincenzo can serve as the team's primary point guard, at least in terms of tangible production.

Quiet in preseason debut Conley totaled two points (2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 14 minutes during Tuesday's preseason loss to the Pacers.
Impact After sitting out the first game of the preseason, Conley moved straight into the starting lineup Tuesday. While there had been some conjecture as to who would get the starting nod, it appears that Conley may be just ahead of Donte DiVincenzo in that discussion. With that said, Conley's days of being a productive basketball player appear to be well behind him. Even if he is given the starting nod come Opening Night, the expectation is that he may play no more than about 25 minutes per game.
