Timberwolves veteran Mike Conley Jr. has big-time sense of urgency entering playoff match-up vs. Suns
At 36-years-old, Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley Jr. only has so many cracks left at winning a championship. He last played in a conference finals in 2013 with Memphis.
“I don’t think anybody wants it more than me,” Conley Jr. said after practice on Thursday.
The 3-seed Timberwolves open the playoffs on Saturday vs. 6-seed Phoenix.
