Mike Conley Leaves The Bubble
Mike Conley (personal) has left the bubble and won't be available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Conley made it clear that he would be leaving the bubble to be present for the birth of his child. It's unknown how long Conley will be gone, so the team could end up playing most of the series without him. Emmanuel Mudiay figures to get the nod as starter, so Jordan Clarkson can remain with the second unit. Clarkson is the better fantasy option despite Mudiay likely getting the start. Donovan Mitchell and Joe Ingles will be asked to handle the ball more often and should see their fantasy value rise significantly without Conley available.

Mike Conley Ready To Return Friday
Mike Conley (rest) has not been included on the injury report for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The veteran seems ready to return to the lineup after missing the tail end of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Conley has not been a good fantasy asset in 2024-25, and the return of Donte DiVincenzo has further diminished his value. The 37-year-old is averaging a career-low 24.9 minutes and 8.1 points.

Mike Conley Back In Action Friday
Mike Conley (finger) will be active on Friday against the Houston Rockets. He is ready to return from a four-game absence after the team initially labeled Conley as questionable for Friday's contest. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely return to the bench now that Conley is back. Meanwhile, Rob Dillingham will also have a reduced role in the rotation. Conley has been relatively quiet for most of the season, but he had a solid stretch of games just before his injury, averaging 11.3 points and 7.0 assists in 28.8 minutes over four games.

Mike Conley Back On The Injury Report Versus Houston
Mike Conley (finger) is questionable for Friday's contest against Houston. The veteran has been sidelined by a finger injury of late, keeping him off the floor for Minnesota's final four games heading into the All-Star break. If he remains on the shelf versus the Rockets, Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely continue to operate at the one. But if Anthony Edwards (hip) is also ruled out, Rob Dillingham and Jaylen Clark may also seen extra work.

Mike Conley Not Ready To Return Thursday
Mike Conley (finger) will remain in street clothes for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game after Minnesota initially listed Conley as questionable on the injury report. Conley's injury has increased the fantasy values of Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Rob Dillingham. Both players may get an additional boost on Thursday due to Anthony Edwards' (hip) absence. Minnesota's star man is considered a game-time decision for the matchup.
