According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, after getting traded from Minnesota to the Chicago Bulls to the Charlotte Hornets and then getting waived by Charlotte, it’s expected that Mike Conley Jr. will re-join the Timberwolves in the coming days.
Originally, the 38-year-old was traded for luxury tax reasons, as the plan the whole time was for him to re-sign with them once they took care of things financially.
Due to him being traded twice, it allows him to re-sign with the Timberwolves and not have that restriction of being traded once, released, and then being forced not to re-sign with the original team that traded him.
In 44 games this season, Conley is averaging 4.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists.
