When an NBA player is traded most don’t know the day and the hour that it’ll happen. For Mike Conley, he was on a plane flight to see his mom in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Conley wouldn’t find out until he got off the plane.
“I was actually traveling to my mom’s house in Fayetteville, Arkansas and got off the plane and found out I had been traded. It happened so quick. I kinda expected it, but once it happened, all of the emotions and feelings came in.”
“After about 35 minutes or so, it all settled in and I’m really excited about the new opportunity.
