It wasn't exactly a surprise when it was announced on Tuesday that Mike Conley will officially return to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the rest of the season. This has been reported since he was waived by the Charlotte Hornets, and even before that, rumors hinted this would happen. However, the move wasn't made official until today (Tuesday, February 17), when Michael Scotto of HoopsHype confirmed that Conley would be back with the Wolves.
The Timberwolves waited until this date to bring back Conley for financial reasons, as they can now sign another veteran while remaining under the first tax apron.
