Conley had a rough night in Oklahoma City, providing little value in the Timberwolves’ final game of the season. He was expected to be a late-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats before the season began, and he met those expectations. Conley is headed into the final season of his contract, and between the pending free agency of Nickeil Alexander-Walker and the development of first-round pick Rob Dillingham, it’s conceivable that Conley’s playing time (24.7 mpg in 2024-25) takes a hit next season. At best, he’ll be a player worthy of late-round consideration in standard league drafts.

Conley has been a consistent starter for most of the season, but he hasn’t been productive in the box score, especially during the postseason. However, he changed that on Wednesday. He set new highs for points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers during these playoffs as Minnesota closed out their series with Golden State to return to the Western Conference Finals. Conley will continue to start, but it’s unlikely that he replicates this production in the next round.

Conley will be back in the starting unit after coming off the bench on Friday. That was a one time thing for Joe Ingles to start in front of his son, but Conley will be back to playing his usual role against Indiana.
