Conley (Achilles) has began participating in 3-on-3 scrimmages with teammates, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he remains without a timetable for a return, Conley's progression is certainly encouraging, though the team is likely to remain as cautious as possible with him considering their place at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. More word on his recovery should emerge as he continues to hit milestones. In the meantime, Tyreke Evans will seemingly continue to carry the bulk of the ballhandling duties for Memphis.

Conley (Achilles) recently indicated that he plans to return at some point this season, but remains without a timetable for return, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has started doing some limited contact drills with the team's assistant coaches, but says he's still battling with some overall soreness in the Achilles. "I'm just going through the process, and unfortunately the process is slow. But I'm making progress," Conley said Friday. It sounds like the Grizzlies are going to remain as cautious as possible with him as he slowly ups his activity and that likely means he'll be sidelined for at least a few more weeks. That said, Conley has yet to provide any sort of timetable, so he can still be considered out indefinitely.

Conley (Achilles) participated in limited contact drills Thursday, but no timetable has been set for his return, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Grizzlies did mention that they expected to provide another update later Thursday, which could give a more concrete timetable for a return. That said, it's still encouraging that Conley was able to do some contact work and he finally appears to be nearing the latter stages of his recovery after missing the last month and a half of action. It seems highly unlikely he'd be back in time for Friday's game against the Wizards and until another update is provided, Conley should still be considered out moving forward.

Conley (Achilles) will miss at least two more weeks before another update is provided.
EDGE Analysis
Conley continues to go through therapy and treatment to alleviated the soreness in his left heel and while he was seen doing some light on-court work recently, he's still slated to miss some time. Another two weeks rules Conley out for an additional seven games and there's certainly a chance he misses more time depending on how the injury feels once there's an increase in activity. With Conley still sidelined for the foreseeable future, Tyreke Evans should remain the starting point guard and see an elevated workload, while both Andrew Harrison and Mario Chalmers benefit with a few extra minutes as well.

Conley (Achilles) has started performing light on-court work and conditioning, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports. An official timetable for a return still has yet to be determined.
EDGE Analysis
It was announced in late November that Conley would miss two-to-three weeks. We've entered the two-week portion of that timetable, though there haven't been reports of his progress up until this news. It doesn't appear he's approaching a return very soon, as he's apparently still working on putting pressure on his Achilles and trying to get back into game shape. In the meantime, Andrew Harrison, Tyreke Evans and Mario Chalmers are all pitching in to fill in minutes at point guard.

Conley (Achilles) is expected to return in two-to-three weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has been going through therapy and treatment to alleviate the soreness in his left heel and Achilles, but still has a ways to go and the Grizzlies certainly aren't going to rush him back. With a two-to-three week timetable, Conley will miss at least the next nine games, and could miss up to a total of 12 depending on how the recovery process progresses. With Mario Chalmers (ankle) also out Wednesday, Tyreke Evans and Andrew Harrison are slated to see the bulk of the work at point guard.

Conley (Achilles) has been ruled out indefinitely and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Peter Edmiston of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley continues to deal with soreness in his Achilles and left heel and will undergo treatment over the next two weeks before being re-evaluated. It looks like his absence will extend beyond the two weeks, however, so it could be a while before the Grizzlies get their starting point guard back. In Conley's absence, Mario Chalmers and Tyreke Evans will continue to share ball-handling duties, with Evans benefitting the most, as he's posting his best numbers since his rookie season.

Conley (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has been dealing with a sore Achilles for much of the season, but was unable to go through the team's morning shootaround and has now been ruled out entirely for Wednesday's contest. Coach David Fizdale mentioned that Conley is getting day-to-day evaluations and maintenance on the Achilles, so it appears he'll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis moving forward. Conley's next opportunity to play will be Saturday against the Rockets, but in the meantime, look for Mario Chalmers and Tyreke Evans to benefit the most in his absence.

Conley did not go through morning shootaround and should still be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Eric Hasseltine of the Grizzlies Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley's status likely won't be determined until closer to tipoff. He's been battling an Achilles injury for much of the year, which has been affecting his play. He's shooting just 38.1 percent from the field and 31.2 percent from beyond the arc. If he ends up missing the contest, Mario Chalmers, Andrew Harrison and Tyreke Evans would seemingly be the main beneficiaries.

Conley is dealing with a sore left Achilles and is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
The Achilles has been bothering Conley for much of this season, already costing him one game at the start of November. He'll receive treatment over the next 24 hours or so and will then likely test it out during pregame warmups ahead of Wednesday's contest before a final decision is made on his availability. If Conley is ultimately held out, Mario Chalmers and Tyreke Evans would likely benefit the most.
