EDGE Analysis

Though Conley had progressed to 3-on-3 scrimmaging in his recovery, he's opted to undergo surgery to correct the issue long-term. The news isn't too surprising considering the Grizzlies have slipped to 17-31 on the season, sitting at 12th place in the Western Conference. In his stead for the remainder of the year, Tyreke Evans and Andrew Harrison will almost certainly continue to handle most of the team's ballhandling duties in the backcourt.
