Mike Conley Appears In First All-Star Game

After 14 seasons in the NBA, Mike Conley made his first appearance in the All-Star game. He replaced injured Devin Booker in the game. Conley finished with three points, one rebound, two assists and one steal on 1-of-6 shooting from the field and 1-for-5 from the three-point line in 12 minutes on the floor. Donovan Mitchell set up Conley for his first bucket as an All-Star.

There it is!

14 years, and worth the wait.
