Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Posts 25 points before fouling out
Rotowire
Conley fouled out of Friday's 123-111 loss to the Lakers after recording 25 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 32 minutes.
Conley didn't finish the game due to fouling out late in the fourth quarter, but the veteran point guard still led Minnesota in scoring, assists and steals in the tough loss. He shot an efficient 7-for-11 from the field, including 4-of-6 from three-point range, showing great improvement over the 3-for-13 line he posted against Phoenix two days prior. Conley's scoring output Friday was his highest since he registered 28 points in Chicago on March 17.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Delivers double-double
Rotowire
Conley racked up 24 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 32 minutes during Monday's 140-134 win over the Knicks.
Conley stepped up for the shorthanded Timberwolves, delivering his first double-double since arriving in Minnesota at the trade deadline. With Anthony Edwards (ankle) on the sideline, Conley shouldered more of the offensive load, both in terms of scoring and facilitating. He has been a top-40 player in nine-category leagues on a per-game basis over the past two weeks, and with Minnesota pushing hard for the playoffs, Conley should be able to maintain comfortable 12-team value rest of season even once Edwards is back in the fold.

Rotowire
Conley racked up 28 points (9-14 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals over 46 minutes during Friday's 139-131 double-overtime loss to Chicago.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Rough night Tuesday
Rotowire
Conley ended with six points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to the 76ers.
Conley failed to have an impact in the loss, turning in arguably his worst performance since joining the Timberwolves. Prior to this game, he had scored double digits in two straight contests. While he certainly isn't the player he once was, Conley should remain a borderline top-100 talent ROS.
Conley will get the start at point guard in Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Conley was traded to Minnesota on Thursday as part of a three-team deal and will immediately replace the departing D'Angelo Russell at point guard. While he will presumably take some time to get used to Minnesota's system, he does already have a solid pick-and-role connection with Rudy Gobert, whom he played with in Utah.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Limited output in debut
Rotowire
Conley registered nine points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 128-107 loss to the Grizzlies.
Conley made his Timberwolves debut but failed to make an impact, failing to reach double-digit scoring figures and not contributing in a major way in other categories, either. His numbers should improve as the season progresses and as he gets used to his new teammates, but he's not expected to put up the same numbers D'Angelo Russell was delivering for Minnesota before the trade.
Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Available to make debut
Rotowire
Conley (recently traded) will be available to make his Timberwolves debut Friday against the Grizzlies.
Conley, who was traded by the Jazz to Minnesota on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal, appears to have passed his physical and will be able to make his Timberwolves debut Friday. The veteran figures to replace D'Angelo Russell as Minnesota's starting point guard, but it remains to be seen how much usage he'll get with his new team. Anthony Edwards is expected to remain the primary playmaker, but Conley's connection with Rudy Gobert (groin) could make the lefty's transition to his new team smooth.
Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Questionable to debut Friday
Rotowire
Conley (trade pending) is questionable to make his Timberwolves debut on Friday.
Once he passes his physical, the veteran figures to start at the vacated point guard spot made available by the Wolves dealing D'Angelo Russell to the Lakers in the three-team trade that brought Conley from Utah. With Minnesota, Conley should continue focusing on distribution, as he's averaging a career-high 7.7 assists per game and is joining a team with a potent scorer in Anthony Edwards, and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) will eventually return. Fantasy managers rostering Conley should have no concerns about his value.
The Timberwolves acquired Conley from the Jazz on Wednesday in a three-team trade that also involves the Lakers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Along with Conley, the Timberwolves received Nickeil Alexander-Walker and second-round picks in 2024, 2025 and 2026, while Utah takes back Russell Westbrook, Damian Jones, Juan Toscano-Anderson and a 2027 first-round draft pick. The Lakers, meanwhile, will add D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley. With the move to Minnesota, Conley should slot into the starting point guard role vacated by Russell, so his value shouldn't dramatically change while he plays alongside another high-usage wing in Anthony Edwards, much like he did in Utah with Lauri Markkanen. As for Utah, Westbrook will most likely be bought out in the coming days, leaving Collin Sexton as the likely candidate to replace Conley in the Jazz's starting five.
