Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (toe) will miss Thursday's game against Toronto. The veteran was already regarded as questionable for the contest and has now been ruled out with a toe sprain. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will slot into the starting unit as Conley's replacement. The 26-year-old had a decent performance in his only previous start this season when he also filled in for Conley, recording 13 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block in a 106-98 loss to Portland on Nov. 13.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. Conley has a toe sprain and this is the first time he's shown up on the injury report with this injury. The veteran has played two straight games of 30-plus minutes, coinciding with backup guard Donte DiVincenzo's back spasms becoming more of an issue (also listed as questionable for Thursday). Minnesota will be hoping at least one of the two will be able to suit up Thursday. If Conley is unable to suit up, expect DiVincenzo to play a larger role and get a start. If neither are able to go, expect Nickeil Alexander-Walker to get the start. None of the three will provide a ton of fantasy value.
