39-year-old point guard Mike Conley made his first start of the season in the Boston Celtics' 117-97 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Joe Mazzulla empowered veterans Jayson Tatum and Derrick White to select the starter, picking Conley after his strong fourth-quarter defensive effort against Charlotte.
