On Wednesday, news came out that Mike Conley is signing a deal with the Boston Celtics.
The former NBA All-Star had been with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the last four seasons.
While he is no longer the player he once was (at 38), he is still a respected veteran that can be counted on in big moments.
ESPN’s Shams Charania wrote: “Free agent guard Mike Conley Jr. has agreed to a one-year deal to sign with the Boston Celtics, sources tell ESPN. Conley becomes only the 14th player in NBA history to reach 20 seasons.”
