Just hours before the Minnesota Timberwolves' season tip-offs against the Portland Trail Blazers, it was announced that Donte DiVincenzo earned starting point guard duties over Mike Conley. In some ways, this isn't much of a surprise, as Conley, who is now 38, is coming off a season where he averaged career lows in minutes (24.7) and points (8.2). Additionally, it was rumored that the Wolves were considering this change ahead of the season.
Still, Conley started in 64 out of 71 games last season. It's also worth noting that Conley started over DiVincenzo in the two preseason games both players were active for.
