MIKE CONLEY NEWS

Steps up in Game 5 victory Conley posted 16 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 win over the Warriors in Game 5 of the Weste...

Impact Conley turned back the clock, scoring a playoff-high 16 points as the Timberwolves eliminated the Warriors. In what has been an underwhelming season for the veteran, Conley continues to take a backseat, stepping up only when needed. Despite starting, Conley has played more than 28 minutes only twice during the postseason, topping double-digits on two separate occasions. Donte DiVincenzo has proven himself to be a more than adequate backup, allowing Conley to play a limited role. Minnesota will now play either the Thunder or the Nuggets in the Conference Finals, where Conley will be looking to advance to his first-ever NBA Finals.

Impact Conley couldn't get going in Sunday's game, as he struggled in the shooting department, missing all four attempts from beyond the arc. Along with failing to make an impact in Game 4, the veteran guard suffered a leg injury, which could show up on the injury report ahead of Game 5. The 37-year-old has struggled throughout this series, averaging 5.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting a dismal 38.1 percent from the floor and 27.3 percent from deep.

Returns Sunday Conley (leg) has returned for the start of the fourth quarter in Sunday's Game 4 against the Lakers.

Impact Conley limped back to the locker room after an awkward landing in the third quarter, though he started the fourth. The veteran guard should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.

Hands out nine assists Conley contributed eight points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 141-125 win over Memphis.

Impact Conley finished just two points and one assist away from recording a double-double, and he finished just two dimes away from tying his season-high mark in that category. The veteran floor general has some value as a streaming option due to his ability as a passer and three-point shooter, but his upside in most formats remains relatively low, especially considering the high usage rate of players such as Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.
