“I’m just trying to work back the strength of it,” Conley said. “That’s the biggest thing. The pain and stuff is gone. But there are some times when I’ll shoot it and think, `Ah, that’s good,’ and it’ll be like two feet short. So you’re just trying to gauge the differences and work through that as the season goes forward.”
Wolves coach Chris Finch said he didn’t notice an issue with Conley’s wrist until last summer, when he said “it really flared up on him” but said it has since calmed down.
“He’s just working out some stiffness in there,” Finch said. “I haven’t really noticed it until this summer and preseason. I’m sure it’s affecting his shot to some degree. His shots all look good. They look like they’re going to go down. A lot have rattled out, but that’s really the only thing I’ve noticed.”
Conley was asked if it’s good, old arthritis.
“I wish it was just arthritis, that’d be easier,” he said. “I’m not worried about it. I’m just getting adjusted. I’ve been through it before. It’s going to be ugly for a week or so and then we’ll figure it out.”
