Plenty of Minnesota Timberwolves fans have grown a bit disillusioned with Mike Conley due to his declining quality of play at this late stage in his career. But one piece of news coming out of the team on Wednesday serves to remind us all of how incredibly valuable he still is: Conley reportedly called a mandatory team dinner in Oklahoma City on Tuesday in an attempt to keep the group together emotionally.
The Star Tribune's Chris Hine reported this news after the Timberwolves' shootaround on Wednesday. "When you have games like we just had, guys can get down, confidence can go up and down," Conley said.
