    • Mike Conley (calf) questionable for Game 7 Sunday
      Mike Conley (right soleus strain) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Conley returned to the Timberwolves’ lineup for Game 6, and his presence also benefitted Anthony Edwards in the 45-point victory. If the veteran point guard cannot play in Game 7, Nickeil Alexander-Walker will move into the starting lineup. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:59 pm
       
    • Questionable for Sunday
      Conley (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 against Denver.

      Advice: After missing Game 5 with this same injury, Conley played in Game 6 on Thursday and finished with 13 points, five assists, four rebounds and one block in 31 minutes. With Minnesota's season on the line, Conley will likely attempt to power through the issue again. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:54 pm
       
    • Can't carry Denver in Game 6
      Jokic contributed 22 points (9-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 115-70 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Jokic delivered one of the best performances of his playoff career in Game 5 of the series, but he was unable to repeat those numbers in this woeful loss despite a respectable stat line. Jokic shot under 50 percent from the field for the third time in the series, and the Nuggets have lost every time that has happened. While the entire Nuggets offense must perform better in a do-or-die Game 7 contest on Sunday, Jokic will be the one who sets the tone early on. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:01 pm
       
    • Nikola Jokic scores 22 points in Game 6
      Nikola Jokic scored a team-high 22 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs) on Thursday. He snared nine rebounds to go along with two assists and missed all four of his attempts from 3-point range.

      Advice: Jokic flirted with a double-double but didn’t do nearly enough to keep Denver in Game 5. He shot under 50% from the field for the second time in the series and will get a chance to bounce back for Game 7 back home. Rotoworld Thursday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Mike Conley (calf) active Thursday vs. Nuggets
      Mike Conley (right soleus strain) has been upgraded from probable to active for Thursday’s Timberwolves-Nuggets game

      Advice: Conley is good to go after missing his last game and is likely start and bump Nickeil Alexander-Walker back to the bench. Rotoworld Thursday, 4:51 pm
       
    • Will play Thursday
      Conley (Achilles) will play in Game 6 against the Nuggets on Thursday, head coach Chris Finch told Jack Borman of SB Nation.

      Advice: Finch also said the Wolves will be "mindful" of Conley's minutes after he missed Game 5 with an Achilles injury. Still, the veteran floor general will be out there in what could be the last game of the season for a Minnesota team that has lost three in a row against the defending champions. Conley is averaging 11.3 points, 7.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game during the current postseason run, and even though he'll have his minutes monitored, it would be shocking if he's not part of the starting lineup.

    • Mike Conley (calf) probable Thursday vs Nuggets
      Mike Conley (right soleus strain) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday’s Timberwolves-Nuggets matchup.

      Advice: Nickeil Alexander-Walker filled in for Conley in Game 5, but it appears like Minnesota’s floor general is trending toward playing again after a one-game layoff. NAW will likely return to the bench with Conley back in the rotation. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:14 pm
       
    • Likely to play Thursday
      Conley (Achilles) is expected to play in Thursday's Game 6 against the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Conley is expected to return to action Thursday after missing Game 5 with right Achilles soreness. If the veteran guard is ultimately upgraded from questionable to available, he will likely reclaim his starting spot from Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:40 am
       
    • Present at shootaround
      Conley (Achilles) is at Minnesota's shootaround ahead of Thursday's Game 6 against Denver, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

      Advice: Conley is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest after missing Game 5 with right Achilles soreness. While Conley's presence at shootaround is a good sign of his availability, the veteran guard was also at shootaround ahead of Game 5 before being ruled out. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:11 am
