Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Starting in debut

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.
