With no Conley and KAT a little dinged up, not a bad quarter for the Wolves. Down 2 while Edwards is 1-4.
Towns with 7 and NAW with a couple big 3s.
Now the non-Jokic minutes, which have been so good for Denver. – 11:10 PM

KAT tried to walk that off and he simply couldn’t. He’s hobbling back to the locker room…A massive blow to Minnesota, who is already without Mike Conley, if he can’t continue – 11:02 PM

The Timberwolves talked a lot about regaining their emotional control and composure in-game coming into tonight. Mike Conley is a big part of that. They’re gonna have to manage that without him. – 10:29 PM

NAW’s insertion into the starting lineup will give the Wolves more defense. The question is, will he be able to be a calming influence offensively when the Nuggets make a run? Conley was so important in that regard, among others. – 10:28 PM

With Conley out, might be a chance for Finch to deploy Edwards/McDaniels/Reid/Towns/Gobert, which looked ok in a very limited stint in Game 4. – 10:05 PM

Mike Conley will be a game time decision, with his Achilles injury. Suffered the injury on the very last play of Game 4. Chris Finch could shorten the rotation tonight anyways – 8:59 PM

I know you’re not there yet, but what does the post-playing career look like for you? Mike Conley: Honestly, I do believe it’ll be around this game. I don’t know what capacity that is yet. I don’t know how well coaching (will fit)… Front office, where I’ll be texting you about trades? Mike Conley: (Laughs) Yeah, we’ll be talking about trades and the bad decisions I made or whatever. So the front office is there. You’ve got the media side of things, sports broadcasting. All that around this game. I just feel like there’s still so much more I can offer, even outside of being on the court. -via The Athletic / May 10, 2024
What’s your contract situation? Mike Conley: I signed a two-year extension. So after this year, I have next year and the following year is a partial guarantee. Independent of the contract status, you are at that age where guys have some vision of how long they will do it. What’s the current outlook on that front? Mike Conley: Before I signed the extension, it was like, ‘Man, it could be this year, it could be next year, it could be any year.’ But then as I played this year out, I was like, ‘Man, I haven’t slowed down yet, and I just can’t imagine myself leaving when I haven’t hit that bottom yet.’ So I’m just gonna burn these tires off and not put a date on it and see what happens. -via The Athletic / May 10, 2024
