Free agent point guard Mike Conley is signing with the Boston Celtics to play his 20th NBA season in 2026-27, ESPN reported Wednesday.

Conley, who turns 39 in October, has agreed to join his fourth team on a one-year deal, per the report. Terms were not disclosed.

A four-time winner of the NBA's Sportsmanship Award and two-time Teammate of the Year, Conley will become only the 14th player in NBA history to reach 20 seasons.
