Here’s what people were saying about the news:
Keith Smith: “Mike Conley is getting a one-year contract with Boston at the veteran minimum amount. Good guard depth for the Celtics behind Derrick White and Payton Pritchard. Boston was short on ballhandling at various points last season.”
Jon Krawczynski: “Mike Conley made the decision to head to Boston in the last day or so, sources told @TheAthletic. An essential member of the Timberwolves, on and off the court, for the last 3 1/2 years.”
Barry Jackson: “Mike Conley Jr. commits to Boston. He also had interest in Miami – and Heat considered for a time last week – before Miami ultimately decided against it.”
Noa Dalzell: “Mike Conley came off the bench last year for the first time in his career, but he still had some big moments in the playoffs: He had 12 points, 6 assists, 0 turnovers in Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs, and shot 50% from beyond the arc in the playoffs.”
Looking At The Celtics
The Celtics are coming off a season where they were the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 56-26 record.
They lost to the Philadlephia 76ers in the first round of the 2026 NBA playoffs.
