Conley finished Monday's game against the Rockets with 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and a steal over 33 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Since being shutout in the first game of 2019, Conley has responded with six straight outings of 14 or more points, shooting an impressive 44.8 percent from the field while averaging 2.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.7 steals over that span. Although he's unlikely to erupt for a big scoring night like James Harden did against Conley's team Monday evening (57 points), he's shown definite improvement throughout the 2018-19 campaign, scoring at a clip of 20.2 ppg compared to his 14.6 ppg career average.

Conley is considered probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to left shoulder soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has regularly been on the injury report recently, but has consistently played through the pain. Thus, he appears on track to go again Saturday barring any setbacks. He bounced back from his worst game of the year in last night's loss to the Nets by posting 31 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3PT, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, two assists, and four steals across 38 minutes. Expect confirmation of his status closer to game-time.

Conley (shoulder) will play Friday against the Nets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Conley was listed as questionable, he expressed optimism in his availability Thursday, so the fact that he's been cleared isn't too surprising. He's coming off his worst game of the year, going 0-for-8 against the Pistons on Wednesday.

Conley (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Conley noted Thursday that he is confident in his ability to take the floor Friday, but the Grizzlies are less optimistic, listing him as questionable. If he unexpectedly misses time, that would open up minutes for the likes of Shelvin Mack and Jevon Carter.

Conley (shoulder) said he'll play in Friday's game against the Nets, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley dealt with some stiffness in his shoulder during a scoreless outing (0-8 FT) Wednesday night, but the ailment doesn't look to be anything serious. The veteran was able to practice Thursday and should be fine for Friday night.

Conley finished with zero points (0-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes Wednesday in the Grizzlies' 101-94 loss to the Pistons. He admitted afterward that his shoulder stiffened up during the contest and required a checkup from the team trainer, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports. "All my strength is good, but it was hard to do anything with my left [hand]," Conley said.
EDGE Analysis
It was a disastrous night all around for the Grizzlies, who took a third straight loss and reportedly had to defuse a postgame altercation in the locker room between Garrett Temple and Omri Casspi, per Shams Charania and Omari Sankofa II of The Athletic. Conley's poor outing and possible injury might have been overshadowed by the scrum between his teammates, but any absence from the star point guard would be quite detrimental to the struggling team. He can tentatively be viewed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nets until the Grizzlies provided an updated injury report.

EDGE Analysis
Conley didn't quite reach his season scoring average, but he dished out eight helpers for the second straight game and added value by collecting two steals. He continues to put together an impressive December, averaging 19.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.5 steals per contest (12 games). Conley will take the court next against Boston on Saturday.

Conley (hamstring) will play Wednesday against the Cavs, Omari Sankofa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Grizzlies listed Conley on the injury report, despite the fact that he's played in three straight games since missing a contest more than a week ago. Don't expect the veteran point guard to be limited Wednesday.

Conley (hamstring) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Conley is now three games clear of the left hamstring issue that kept him out of a matchup with the Warriors more than a week ago, but the Grizzlies are still including him on the injury report on what looks to be a precautionary basis. Prior to the holiday, Conley played 35 minutes in a win over the Lakers, finishing with 17 points, eight assists and two steals.
