Mike Conley Rumors

So, for two and a half weeks in January of 2020, Conley watched the Jazz win 10 consecutive games. He watched them beat the Los Angeles Clippers on the road in what was one of their best win of the year. He watched them find a stride and a rhythm that eluded them for most of the season. Of course, he was happy for them. Privately, though, he worried. He fretted. “When I got healthy,” Conley said. “I didn’t want to be the reason they took a step back.”

“It’s been a rough 2020 for all us. Everybody in the world. Including myself,” the veteran point guard said on the first day of this new year. “I think I’m getting back to myself really.” Conley scored a game-high 33 points to go along with seven assists, two rebounds and a steal, as the Jazz notched their first home victory of the season Friday night, defeating the L.A. Clippers 106-100. “It was a fun night and a night we definitely needed,” said Conley, who hit a career-high seven 3-pointers. “I’m just happy to see this progress. Last year was a tough year. Just went through a lot personally, on and off the court.”
