Mike Conley Says He Will Play Next Season, Targeting Year 20

The 38-year-old now heads into free agency seeking a 20th season.

Overview

  • Conley, speaking Saturday after Minnesota’s playoff exit, said he plans to keep playing next season.
  • He will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, leaving his future with the Timberwolves open.
  • The veteran guard logged 12 playoff games with five starts and averaged 14.0 minutes, 4.4 points and 2.7 assists.
  • His year included trades to the Bulls and then the Hornets and a waiver that led to a return to Minnesota under a rule that blocked only a quick re-signing with the last trading team.
  • He said family reflection will guide his choice, and his experience and steady play position him for a veteran role as he approaches age 39.
