Conley (leg) will not play in Friday's game against the Pacers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley will have now missed seven consecutive games due to a lower leg strain, which has allowed for an extended stint in the starting lineup for Collin Sexton. Considering Friday's matchup is the first leg of a back-to-back for Utah, Conley may be targeting a return for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Conley (lower leg) is out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Conley will miss his sixth straight game with a lower leg strain. Collin Sexton should continue to start in the veteran point guard's absence. Conley's next opportunity to play is Friday's game against the Pacers, although there is no definitive timetable for his return.

Conley (lower leg) will not suit up Monday against the Bulls, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley will miss a fifth straight game due to a lower leg strain and has not been given a clear timetable for a return. However, the Jazz will likely be giving a rehab update for the 35-year-old at some point Tuesday that could give fantasy managers a better idea of when Conley should be expected back.

Conley (lower leg) won't play in Saturday's game against the Suns, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley will miss his fourth straight game due to a lower leg injury. While it was reported that Conley could return as soon as the Jazz's back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, the veteran point guard will have to wait until at least Monday's game against the Bulls to retake the court.

Conley is listed as out for Monday's game against the Clippers with a popliteus strain of his left leg, but the Jazz are hopeful he'll avoid an extended absence once he's re-evaluated Tuesday, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Earlier Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the non-contact left lower leg injury Conley sustained during Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers would sideline him for at least two weeks, but Walden relays that the Jazz aren't yet discounting the possibility of the veteran point guard returning before then. A formal timeline for Conley's return won't be established until he gets examined in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, but Walden suggests the Jazz could opt to update the 35-year-old's status on a game-by-game basis moving forward. Even if Conley returns within two weeks, he still is likely to miss at least the first two games of this week, and he'll almost certainly sit out at least one half of the weekend back-to-back set (Friday at Golden State, Saturday at Phoenix). Talen Horton-Tucker, Collin Sexton and Malik Beasley are likely to absorb most of Conley's minutes in the meantime.

Conley (knee) avoided major ligament damage but will still miss at least the next two weeks due to a strained left knee, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley suffered a non-contact injury to his left knee during Saturday night's win over Portland. While he'll miss at least the rest of the month, the news that he avoided any serious damage is a major sigh of relief for both the Jazz and the veteran point guard. With Conley sidelined, expect Jordan Clarkson to take on more ball-handling duties, while Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker could both see boosts in minutes. This could also be an opportunity for Nickeil Alexander-Walker to find his way into the rotation.

Conley won't return to Saturday's game against the Spurs due to a left knee injury, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a huge blow for the Jazz, and further tests will be needed to determine the full severity of the injury. Conley finishes the game with zero points (0-1 FG), three assists, a rebound and a steal across nine minutes. Expect Collin Sexton to experience an uptick in minutes with Conley out, and the veteran's next chance to play will come Nov. 21 on the road against the Clippers.

Conley appeared to have suffered a left knee injury and was taken to the locker room during Saturday's game against the Spurs, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley went down and was holding his left knee in what appeared to be a hyperextension, but the veteran floor general managed to walk off the court in his own power. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to return to the game, and if that's not the case, then Collin Sexton and Nickeil Alexander-Walker should be in line to see more minutes.

Conley logged 13 points (4-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Friday's 134-133 win over Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Conley's 10 dimes marked the fifth time he's recorded double-digit assists in the month of November. While he's not scoring as much these days, the 35-year-old is averaging a career-high 8.2 assists per game this season. That's good for sixth in the league, and as potent as this Utah offense has been so far, look for these assists numbers to continue.

Conley ended Tuesday's 118-111 loss to the Knicks with 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and four steals across 34 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Conley didn't have a great shooting night, but he still managed to move the ball around. Conley's assist numbers will almost always impress, but his scoring has been volatile. He recently weathered three consecutive games with single-digit scoring totals. Conley can occasionally pop on defense with some steals and rebounds, which can usually salvage his stat line.
