Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Serviceable line in return
Rotowire
Conley (Achilles) registered six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes in Sunday's 103-100 win over the Bucks.
Making his return from a four-game absence due to right Achilles tendinopathy, Conley ended up handling a prominent role off the bench and came through with a quality stat line during his time on the court. Conley is averaging 19.3 minutes per game on the season, but the Timberwolves had more playing time up for grabs after Jaden McDaniels (hip) missed the entire second half. Expect the Timberwolves to peel back Conley's minutes a bit if McDaniels is available to play Tuesday against the Knicks.

This will mark Conley's first absence of the 2025-26 campaign. It's unclear as to when this issue popped up for the veteran guard, but the team will give him at least a few days off before re-evaluating him ahead of Sunday's clash with the Kings. Bones Hyland and Rob Dillingham could pick up a few extra minutes in Conley's absence.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Scoreless in 15 minutes
Rotowire
Conley notched zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 15 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to Phoenix.
Conley has not contributed much from a scoring perspective, averaging just 3.4 points on a meager 27.0 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from three in his last nine games. As a starter, Conley averages 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.6 threes made on a 47.1 percent clip, so he would only be fantasy relevant if he joins the first unit in the future.

Rotowire
Conley supplied five points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Conley has well and truly entered the twilight of his career, having now scored no more than six points in 12 of his past 13 games. At this point, his presence in the locker room far outweighs his value on the court. Through 21 games, he is putting up career-low numbers, averaging 5.7 points, 3.3 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 19.5 minutes per contest.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Conley will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
The veteran point guard will draw the start with Jaden McDaniels (wrist) unavailable, so Conley is on the radar as a potential streaming candidate in deep leagues. Through four starts this season, he has averaged 9.3 points, 5.8 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.3 steals per game.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Tacks three steals in win
Rotowire
Conley closed with five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and three steals in 16 minutes during Monday's 120-96 win over the Mavericks.
Conley has not been a threat offensively, never eclipsing the six-point mark in his last six games and the 10-point mark all season, but he was able to prove his value on the defensive end Monday, going for three steals. While he does not provide much standalone value, the veteran point guard could be worth adding if one of the starters were to go down, as he averages 9.3 points, 5.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in four starts this season.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Scores eight points with six dimes
Rotowire
Conley notched eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists and one turnover in 18 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 137-114 loss to the Knicks.
Conley provided some low-end value as a starter while Anthony Edwards was out, but with Edwards back in action and without limitations, Conley saw his minutes reduced back to the teens. While he was able to come through with a mediocre stat line in this one, that's simply not enough floor time for him to make a consistent impact in fantasy leagues.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Conley will return to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Anthony Edwards is back from a four-game absence Wednesday night, and he will not have any minutes restrictions, so Conley's minutes figure to dip back down into the teens. Through three games as a reserve this season, Conley owns averages of 3.0 points and 1.7 assists in 15.5 minutes a night.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Serviceable effort in win
Rotowire
Conley ended with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 win over Charlotte.
The 10 points and six dimes both tied a season high for Conley, who has now dished out six assists in consecutive games. The veteran floor general's best fantasy days are likely behind him, though the door is open for a short-term boost in deep-league value while Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is injured. Conley has averaged 8.5 points, 5.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 26.9 minutes per game across his last four contests.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Opening season in bench role
Rotowire
Conley will come off the bench to begin the season, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
The Timberwolves have instead decided that Donte DiVincenzo will open the new year as their starting point guard. Conley's fantasy value was already on the decline ahead of his age-38 campaign, and it's likely going to be even more difficult for him to muster fantasy relevance from the second unit. Last regular season, the veteran floor general averaged just 5.6 points, 3.7 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per contest across six games off the bench.
