Conley (rest) won't play Sunday against the Pelicans.
Conley played 24 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Rockets, but he won't suit up Sunday. He'll be one of nine Minnesota players who won't suit up in the regular-season finale. Conley is expected to be available once the playoffs start April 18, though.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Good to go for Friday
Rotowire
Conley (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Rockets.
Conley got the night off Wednesday against Orlando, but he'll be right back in the fold for Friday's action. Anthony Edwards (knee), Ayo Dosunmu (calf) and Bones Hyland (hip) are all listed as questionable, so Conley could be in store for more minutes if the Minnesota backcourt is shorthanded in Houston.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Will sit out Wednesday
Rotowire
Conley (rest) is out Wednesday against the Magic.
Conley will take the night off for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With this news, Bones Hyland could step into a featured role in the backcourt with so many players getting the night off for Minnesota.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Scores 11 points in loss
Rotowire
Conley recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 122-108 loss to the Hornets.
Conley didn't see any action in Friday's 115-103 loss to Philadelphia, but he was back with the starters Sunday due to Anthony Edwards (knee) being sidelined. If Edwards is forced to miss more time, Conley is only worth deploying in deeper fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Conley will start in Sunday's game against Charlotte.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Drops out of rotation Friday
Rotowire
Conley (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Timberwolves' 115-103 loss to the 76ers.
Conley had started in each of the last four games while Anthony Edwards missed three of those contests and came off the bench for the other, but the former ended up falling out of the rotation Friday while the latter took back his normal spot on the top unit. Head coach Chris Finch leaned exclusively on Bones Hyland (30 minutes) and Terrence Shannon (nine minutes) as the team's reserve guards in the loss to Philadelphia.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Not starting Friday
Rotowire
Conley is not part of the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the 76ers.
The 38-year-old floor general is heading back to the bench to make way in the first unit for the return of Anthony Edwards (knee). Friday snaps a string of four consecutive starts for Conley, who didn't appear in the two two games immediately preceding his return to the starting lineup.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Drawing last-minute start
Rotowire
Conley will start Monday's game against the Mavericks, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Conley wasn't listed in the team's official starting lineup, but Krawcyznski notes that the veteran point guard was a last-minute addition to the first unit after Anthony Edwards was late coming down the tunnel. Edwards replaced Conley with 10:59 remaining in the first quarter after missing tipoff.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Retreating to bench Monday
Rotowire
Conley won't start Monday's game against the Mavericks.
With Anthony Edwards (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) returning from six- and two-game absences, respectively, Terrence Shannon and Conley will slide to the second unit. The veteran point guard isn't guaranteed to see the court Monday and has totaled 25 minutes over just three appearances off the bench since the All-Star break.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Conley is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
The Timberwolves are without Anthony Edwards (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) on Wednesday, allowing Conley to make his first start since Jan. 26. The veteran point guard has been out of the rotation for most of the past month, so he may not see typical starter's minutes.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Not part of rotation
Rotowire
Conley (coach's decision) went unused Tuesday in the Timberwolves' 117-110 win over the Grizzlies.
Before being traded away twice at the deadline and then finding his way back to Minnesota on a one-year deal following the All-Star break, Conley had been a regular part of the Timberwolves rotation. Playing time has been tougher to come by of late for Conley, who has logged just 18 total minutes while seeing the floor in two of the Timberwolves' six games to open their second-half schedule. The Timberwolves seem content to prioritize deadline pickup Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland ahead of Conley as their top guards off the bench.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Back with Minnesota
Rotowire
Conley agreed to a rest-of-season contract with Minnesota on Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
The agreement between the two sides happened shortly after he was waived by the Hornets earlier this month, but Conley will officially be added back to the Minnesota roster before the club's next game Friday versus the Mavericks. Presumably, he'll reprise his role as a backup point guard. Minutes may be even tougher to come by for Conley this time around, however, as the Timberwolves acquired Ayo Dosunmu at the trade deadline and have handed him a sizable role on the second unit.

Mike Conley: Expected to return to Minnesota
Rotowire
Conley is expected to re-sign with the Timberwolves, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Conley was traded twice this week, to Chicago and then to Charlotte. However, he was eventually waived, freeing him up to choose his next destination. A return to Minnesota seemed inevitable, so this news does not come as a surprise. For now, it sounds like the two sides are still finalizing the details.

Mike Conley: Waived Thursday
Rotowire
The Hornets waived Conley on Thursday.
As expected, Conley will never end up making an appearance with the Hornets, after he was acquired Wednesday from Chicago in a deal that also sent Coby White to Charlotte. Once he clears waivers, Conley will be free to join a team of his choosing. The 38-year-old point guard could even head back to Minnesota, but wherever he winds up, Conley will be more of a veteran locker room presence than an on-court asset.

Bulls' Mike Conley: Unlikely to stay in Chicago
Rotowire
Conley (recently traded) is not expected to stay in Chicago after being acquired by the Bulls from the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.
Conley was part of a three-team deal between the Timberwolves, Bulls and Pistons on Wednesday that saw Jaden Ivey join Conley in Chicago while Dario Saric and Kevin Huerter (back) were sent to Detroit. It appears Conley will not stick around with his new team, and Haynes relays that the veteran point guard and the Bulls "will work on a proper path to move forward." That could mean that Conley is sent to another team before Thursday's trade deadline or is cut by the Bulls, which would allow him to sign with a team in need of backcourt help. Prior to the trade, Conley was averaging 4.4 points, 2.9 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 threes over 18.5 minutes per game with the Timberwolves.

Bulls' Mike Conley: Flipped to Chicago
Rotowire
Minnesota agreed to trade Conley to Chicago in a three-team deal Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Jaden Ivey will be sent to Chicago, while Dario Saric and Kevin Huerter (back) will head to Detroit with Minnesota unloading a protected swap for this salary dump.
Father Time caught up to Conley in Minnesota, and the club will go in a different direction. The Bulls have a crowded backcourt, and it's hard to imagine Conley playing more than a minimal role as things currently stand. If the Bulls end up moving Coby White or other pieces, maybe that changes. Conley can be considered questionable to debut Thursday against Toronto.

Rotowire
Conley is out for Thursday's game against the Thunder with back spasms.
After playing 23 minutes in Wednesday's win in Dallas, Conley is getting the night off. The expectation is that the veteran floor general will return Saturday in Memphis. Bones Hyland should see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in deeper leagues Thursday.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Won't start vs. Dallas
Rotowire
Conley won't start against the Mavericks on Wednesday.
Anthony Edwards will return to action following a one-game absence due to right foot injury maintenance. As a result, Conley will slide to the second unit. The veteran point guard has averaged 1.8 points, 2.0 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.
