The Celtics have reached an agreement with Mike Conley on a one-year deal, bringing a seasoned backcourt presence to Boston.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the move. Conley, 38, spent the past several seasons with the Timberwolves and is expected to give the Celtics depth behind Derrick White and Payton Pritchard.
His scoring and overall production have naturally dipped at this stage of his career, but his reputation around the league has stayed intact. Conley has long been viewed as a trusted veteran and a steady locker-room voice.
The signing also pushes him into rare company. By coming back for another season, Conley will join the group of players who have reached the 20-year mark in the NBA.
Brooklyn is making a veteran addition of its own. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Nets have agreed to a two-year, $19 million contract with center Moritz Wagner. The deal reportedly includes a mutual option for the second season.
Wagner spent the past five-plus seasons with the Magic before hitting free agency this summer. He averaged 6.9 points and 3.6 rebounds in 36 games last season after returning from a torn ACL. With Brooklyn’s frontcourt in flux after Nic Claxton’s departure, Wagner now has a path to compete for meaningful minutes.
Sacramento also added to its roster, landing former Raptors forward Jonathan Mogbo on a two-way contract. Scotto reported the agreement.
Mogbo, 24, played in 103 games across two seasons with Toronto after going 31st overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. He is known for his defensive versatility and athleticism, and he’ll try to carve out a bigger role with the Kings after slipping out of Toronto’s regular rotation last season.

LeBron Rumor Puts Nets Fans In A Dangerous Dream Scenario
LeBron James has set up one of those rare offseason ripples that reaches every corner of the league, and Brooklyn is at least in the conversation. After informing the Lakers he intends to play elsewhere in the 2026-27 season, James has naturally drawn the heaviest interest from the Warriors and Cavaliers, but the Nets have emerged as a possible landing spot for a franchise that is clearly open to major change.
For Brooklyn, the appeal is obvious enough to fuel the fantasy: if the organization really wants to reshape its roster, landing James and another star could push it toward true contention in a hurry. The path there is the tricky part, because getting to that level likely means real sacrifice and a willingness to move pieces in pursuit of something bigger, with the whole idea resting on whether the Nets can make themselves more than just a hopeful name in a crowded sweepstakes.

Nets Just Made A Frontcourt Move Fans Will Debate Fast
The Nets have added another frontcourt piece for next season, agreeing to a two-year, $19 million deal with Moritz Wagner as they continue to shape the roster around more size and depth. Wagner arrives after his run with Orlando, giving Brooklyn a veteran big man who can fit into a rotation that still has some questions to answer before opening night.
What makes the move interesting is the fit as much as the price tag. Wagner is expected to be in the mix for minutes at both power forward and center alongside Danny Wolf and Day'Ron Sharpe, which means this signing is less about a single role and more about a crowded competition. For the Nets, that kind of battle is the point, even if it leaves the final pecking order unresolved for now. [Read more 🡒]
Drake Powell Just Put Real Pressure On His Next Nets Season
Drake Powell is spending the offseason trying to turn a promising rookie year into a more complete one, and the Nets have every reason to pay attention. After averaging 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in his first season, Powell said his summer work has centered on getting stronger in the weight room while sharpening the parts of his game that can make him more useful in Brooklyns rotation.
The list is pretty specific, too, with Powell focused on finishing at the rim, taking more threes, getting into the paint and making the right reads for teammates. The Nets plan to give him an extended look in both the Las Vegas Summer League and the California Classic, which should make this a useful stretch for evaluating whether the added muscle and skill work show up when the games start counting again.
