Celtics sign Mike Conley Jr. to one-year contract

The Boston Celtics signed Mike Conley Jr. to a one-year, $3.9 million contract. Conley, 38, will bring veteran leadership and a steady hand to the point guard position as he enters his 20th season in the NBA. Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens emphasized the importance of reliable veterans and Conley's track record of impacting winning. Despite being past his All-Star prime, Conley is expected to contribute positively when on the court, particularly with his low turnover rate, averaging 1.8 turnovers over his career. His debut with the Celtics will mark him as one of only 14 players in NBA history to play 20 seasons.
