That he only missed only ten games this season is a little feat. Because Mike Conley Contested his 18th career in a career, with 71 games on the clock, while he is touched at the ligaments of his left hand, his strong hand. A wrist injury that imposes on him a passage on billiards the day he decides to retire.
“” This season was one of the most difficult people I had to face “, recently recognized the veteran Who, at 37, knows that the end of the course is getting closer. His choice not to have an operation today and to manage his effort despite the injury did not facilitate things.
The leader experienced a fairly catastrophic season start in terms of shooting (32% in his first 14 games). “” Obviously, there were a lot of expectations arriving this season after the year we had, including me, and the fact of not feeling at best to start the season and not play well: these combinations are not going well together Suitable the veteran.
If he has straightened the bar from the All-Star Game, turning 8 points with 47% on shots, including 46% 3-point, the left-hander was still satisfied with his lowest career in career (with the lowest playing time). Throughout the season, Mike Conley wondered: ” Will my wrist one day recover? Or will I one day find the feeling where I can hold the ball again correctly, or no longer feel pain? »»
Permanent discomfort
“” These are all questions that remained in my head. Once it has dissipated, the game started to come back slowly. It's easier to be confident when you know you don't feel something weird every time you move your wrist, dribble or defend », Lists the one who missed his game 2 against the Lakers (0 point, 0/5 on shots).
This discomfort, to which was added the dislocation of a finger around the period of the All-Star Game, did not prevent it from holding its rank. And to remain the holder of the Wolves for the majority of the season, apart from a sequence of several games in early January. Above all, his competitive spirit seems intact.
“” Usually, it is noted during the video sessions, as the coaches underline, Mike is the oldest, but it is he who fights the hardest on many actions. It is really a great way for him to guide the youngest towards this level of competitiveness, of professionalism “, Has thus Rudy Gobert, when Anthony Edwards describes” a warrior “who plays” As if it was the first time. We get attached to someone like that. »»
