Conley is in his 17th NBA season. In addition to being named Twyman Stokes Teammate of the Year twice, he also won the NBA Sportsmanship Award four times.
The award, presented annually for selfless play, leadership on and off the court, and dedication to the team, was given to friends Maurice Stokes and Jack Twyman, who played together on the Cincinnati Royals. It was named after. When Stokes was injured on the court in 1958 and became paralyzed, Twyman became his legal guardian and supported Stokes throughout his life until his death in 1970.
The only Timberwolves player to ever win the Teammate Award was Jamal Crawford in 2017-18. Three-time winner Jrue Holiday is the only player in the league to win the award multiple times.
