Mike Conley is heading to Boston. The veteran point guard has agreed to a one-year deal with the Celtics, setting up a milestone 20th NBA season at age 38. That puts him in rare company — only 13 other players in league history have ever played that long.
Conley's journey has taken him from Memphis, where the Grizzlies drafted him fourth overall back in 2007, to a stint with the Utah Jazz, and most recently three and a half seasons in Minnesota. Now he's bringing all that experience — the playmaking, the leadership, the championship pedigree — to a Celtics backcourt built to contend.
Few players in the league match his reputation for consistency and professionalism. He's picked up four NBA Sportsmanship Awards along the way, and after all these years, the Ohio State alum is still showing what it takes to last in a league that chews up careers.
