Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley intends to extend his NBA career for at least one more year.
“I think I might’ve proved to myself I can play a little longer,” the 38-year-old told the Minneapolis Star Tribune, according to a report released Tuesday.
Conley will be an unrestricted free agent this summer after a turbulent 2025-26 season that saw him traded twice ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline. Minnesota sent him to the Chicago Bulls on Feb. 3 in a salary-clearing move. One day later, Chicago packaged him with Coby White and dealt him to the Charlotte Hornets. Charlotte waived Conley shortly thereafter, freeing him to rejoin the Timberwolves because league rules only block an immediate return to the most recent team that traded the player—in this case, Chicago.
Once back in Minnesota, Conley’s playing time increased late in the regular season, and he stayed in the rotation during the playoffs. He appeared in 12 postseason games, starting five, and averaged 4.4 points and 2.7 assists over 14 minutes per contest.
The veteran floor general has played 1,220 regular-season games and 120 playoff games since entering the league with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2007.
