Mike Conley Set To Make First Start Of The Season Against Bucks

Boston Celtics veteran guard Mike Conley will earn his first start of the season against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night. In his 20th NBA season, Conley has mostly been out of the regular rotation, averaging career-lows of 3 points and 0.3 assists in 7 minutes per game across three appearances. Despite limited on-court action, he has served as a crucial locker room voice and mentor for teammates like Payton Pritchard, before getting an opportunity for extended minutes.
