Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr. signed a contract extension on Friday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the Timberwolves, however ESPN and The Athletic reported earlier in the week that the sides agreed on a two-year extension worth $21 million.
Conley, 36, is averaging 10.6 points and 6.4 assists in 50 games (all starts) this season, his second in Minnesota since being traded to the Timberwolves in February 2023. He’s shooting a career-best 44.2 percent from 3-point range.
Conley is contributing 14.5 points and 5.7 assists across 1,075 career games (1,038 starts) with the Memphis Grizzlies (2007-19), Utah Jazz (2019-23) and the Timberwolves. The Grizzlies selected Conley with the fourth overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft out of Ohio State.
The Timberwolves, who lead the NBA Western Conference by one game over the Oklahoma City Thunder, host the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
