Conley won't play in Monday's game against the Hornets due to rest.

EDGE Analysis

Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch added that the veteran point guard is also dealing with hamstring tightness, but Conley's absence Monday is being classified as a maintenance day, per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports. Conley will miss just his second game of the season, but he'll likely return to action Wednesday in Washington, which marks the first half of a back-to-back set. The last time Conley was sidelined Jan. 10 in Boston, Nickeil Alexander-Walker entered the starting five in his stead.
