Conley subbed in for an injured Devin Booker in both the Three-Point Contest as well as the All-Star Game. Conley ripped through the three-point competition, finding himself in the final round against notorious three-point shooter Stephen Curry. Conley was leading in the final round until Curry s last ball. The Warriors guard scorched the net to beat the Jazzman by one-point.

The wait is over.
Mike Conley, in his 14th season in the NBA, will make his All-Star debut on Sunday in Atlanta.
Conley will be replacing the Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker, who suffered a left knee sprain. Booker was slated to participate in the All-Star Game as an injury replacement for the Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis.
With Conley joining two-time All-Stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, it will be the first time since John Stockton, Karl Malone and Mark Eaton were All-Stars in 1989 that the Jazz will have three players representing the team in the NBA All-Star Game. Quin Snyder, the first Jazz coach to lead an All-Star team since Frank Layden did so in 1984, will coach Team LeBron.
