Mike Conley will be entering his 20th NBA season when he suits up with Boston next fall.
Former All-Star guard Mike Conley is headed to the Eastern Conference for the first time in his career. Per ESPN’s Shams Charania, Conley and the Celtics have reportedly agreed to a one-year deal.
Conley sifted through a handful of offers before a decision, with his agents Steven Heumann and Jessica Holtz of CAA Sports informing the Celtics brass this morning.

The 38-year-old Conley spent the last 3 1/2 seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves and also played for the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies. Last season, Conley averaged 4.5 ppg, 1.7 rpg and 2.9 apg as his role diminished in favor of youngsters Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland.
Conley’s departure was also expected after the Timberwolves swung a
reported blockbuster trade
to acquire All-Star guard LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets. The Wolves also
reportedly agreed to a deal
with Dosunmu early in free agency and
parted with Julius Randle
in another reported trade.
In Boston, Conley joins a backcourt that includes All-Stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum as well as key reserves Derrick White, Payton Pritchard and Ron Harper Jr.
