Conley is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pacers are is likely resting.

EDGE Analysis

There hasn't been official confirmation on Conley's status, but he's presumably resting on the second half of a back-to-back set. Shelvin Mack is drawing the start at point guard.

Conley totaled 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, and two assists in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Conley certainly wasn't shy, evidenced by the fact that he was the only Grizzly to launch more than seven field-goal attempts. Conley showed some rust, but that was to be expected in his first game back after missing 70 tilts due to a heel injury last season. For better or worse, the offense is in his hands.

Conley (heel) is considered fully healthy as training camp approaches, David Aldrdige of TNT reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley's season was cut short in its infancy, as he missed 70 games after undergoing surgery to clean up his left heel. The point guard resumed five-on-five work earlier this month, and new coach J.B. Bickerstaff confirmed Monday that Conley is a back at full speed. "Right now he's in full participation in everything we're doing," Bickerstaff said. "Obviously we kind of keep an eye on him. In training camp, our expectation is that he's full go." Bickerstaff went on to note that while Conley won't face any sort of minutes restriction in the wake of the injury, the talent the Grizzlies added this offseason will hopefully equate to a lower overall workload for both he and Marc Gasol. "We don't have any expectation of Mike missing anything," Bickerstaff said. "As the season goes, we'll keep an eye on him. When we added some of the depth on our team, we don't have to kill Mike and Marc from a minutes perspective. Rather than getting into restrictions, their average minutes don't have to be 36, 38 minutes to carry the team."

Conley (heel) has recently started playing 5-on-5 basketball and taking part in workouts with teammates, Eli Savoie of Sports 56 WHBQ reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley missed all but 12 games of the 2017-18 campaign following left heel surgery, but after an entire offseason of rehabilitation, he's finally nearing full health. He's already able to go through 5-on-5 work, which suggests he should be ready to go ahead of the preseason opener Oct. 2. According to Mark Giannotto of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, there's "no doubt about it" that Conley will also be healthy for the start of training camp. All of that said, everything appears to be positive regarding his recovery, so fantasy owners should have confidence in selecting the veteran in upcoming drafts. Conley is just one year removed from averaging 20.5 points, 6.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.5 three-pointers across 69 games in 2016-17.

Conley (heel), during Thursday's Team USA camp, remained limited to non-contact work, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley had his 2017-18 campaign cut short due to left heel surgery and struggled to be effective in the 12 games he played in, shooting 38.6 percent from the field -- the lowest mark of his 11-year career. The fact that he's still limited to non-contact work isn't exactly encouraging, though there's been no word of any sort of setback that would prevent him from being 100 percent in time for training camp in September.

Conley played in 12 games during the 2017-18 season and averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 assists and 2.3 rebounds for the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Conley (Achilles) will undergo season-ending surgery to "to smooth a small bone protrusion" in his left heel, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports. He is expected to make a complete recovery ahead of the 2018-19 training camp.

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.

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.
