Mike Conley is set to play at least two more years with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The former Ohio State point guard agreed to a two-year, $21 million contract extension with the Timberwolves on Monday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Conley, who is now in his 17th NBA season, joined the Timberwolves last season after a midseason trade from the Utah Jazz. As their starting point guard this season, Conley has helped lead the Timberwolves to a 39-16 record – the best in the entire Western Conference – while averaging 10.6 points and 6.4 assists per game.
Conley, who led Ohio State alongside Greg Oden to a national championship game appearance in his lone season as a Buckeye (2006-07), had been set to become a free agent after this season.
The contract extension will bring Conley to nearly $300 million in career earnings as he has already made more than $274 million in his first 17 NBA seasons, per Spotrac.
