Conley, who's returning to action following a nine-game absence due to a lower-body injury, will come off the bench and be a on a minutes restriction during Friday's matchup against Minnesota, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley is set to make his first appearance since Nov. 19 following a prolonged absence due to a lower-body injury. The veteran isn't quite ready to handle a starting role, so with Collin Sexton (hamstring) out, Jordan Clarkson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will start in Utah's backcourt. Before the injury, Conley posted 10.9 points, 8.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.5 minutes per game, but he may be a risky fantasy play while he works his way back to full strength.

Conley (lower leg) has been cleared to take the floor Friday versus the Timberwolves, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley is set to rejoin the action following an extended period on the sideline, last suiting up Nov. 19 against the Trail Blazers. He should be in for a healthy workload in this one with Collin Sexton (hamstring) out, though the team could opt to ease the veteran back in a bit, given his lengthy layoff. If that's the case, Jordan Clarkson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates to see some additional run at point guard.

Conley (lower leg) anticipates playing in Friday's game versus the Timberwolves Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley is officially questionable to take the floor, but the veteran indicated Friday that he intends to play, especially with Collin Sexton (hamstring) missing the contest. Conley should log a healthy amount of action at point guard, assuming his leg holds up, with Jordan Clarkson likely figuring to occasionally relieve him on the ball.

Conley (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Timberwolves, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the Jazz's last nine games with a lower leg injury, the veteran guard could make his return to the floor Friday against the Timberwolves. With Conley questionable and Collin Sexton (hamstring) ruled out, expect Jordan Clarkson and Malik Beasley to see an uptick in minutes. The 35-year-old's next chance to see the court would be Saturday against Denver if he's unable to go Friday.

The Jazz anticipate that Conley (lower leg) will be available to play Friday against the Timberwolves, barring a setback, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Utah will likely observe Conley during morning shootaround Friday before providing an update on his status in advance of the 9 p.m. ET opening tip. The Jazz have gone 3-6 while the veteran point guard has been sidelined for the past nine games, so his expected return should be a welcome development. Since Friday marks the front end of a back-to-back set, Conley could end up sitting out Saturday in Denver if he ends up playing against the Timberwolves, or he could have a minutes restriction if he's deemed available for both contests.

Conley (leg) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Conley will miss a ninth straight game due to a leg injury. Lauri Markkanen (illness) is also out, so Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson figure to handle the majority of the playmaking duties against Golden State.

Conley (hand, leg) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Conley may be able to return following an eight-game absence. Assuming he's cleared, Conley will likely be on a minutes limit. Once eased back into his starting role, fewer minutes will be available for Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton.

Conley (hand) hopes to play Wednesday against the Warriors, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley had been battling a lower-leg injury but is now dealing with a sprained hand. The 35-year-old will be monitored in the coming days after fully participating in Monday's practice session, and he'll have a chance to put an end to his eight-game absence Wednesday. Even if he's cleared to play against Golden State, it's possible he'll face a minutes restriction.

Conley (lower leg) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley has been out since Nov. 21 due to a lower leg strain but looks to be approaching a return to the hardwood after logging a full practice Monday. When he does make his return, Collin Sexton will likely move back to the bench. Conley's next chance to take the floor will come Wednesday against Golden State.

Conley (leg) will remain sidelined for Saturday's tilt against the Trail Blazers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley's absence will mark his eighth straight game missed due to a strained leg. Collin Sexton has seen an extended stint in the starting lineup as a result. Utah will not play again until Wednesday against the Warriors, so the veteran point guard will have some more time to heal before another potential return.
