Conley (Achilles) will not play Saturday against New York, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley had been expected to miss Saturday's contest against the Knicks due to an Achilles injury, and now it has been made official. He met with a specialist Thursday to examine the injury, but there is still no concrete timetable set for a return. Mario Chalmers figures to make another start in his place Saturday. Conley's next chance to play will be Monday against New Orleans.

Conley (Achilles) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Ronald Tillery of the Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although the team contends that Conley's Achilles injury will not sideline him long-term, he continues to miss time and is now in line to miss his sixth straight game after missing Friday's practice. He is considered day-to-day, but if he's unable to play against the Knicks, look for Mario Chalmers to draw another start for the Grizzlies.

Conley (Achilles) sat out of practice Friday and remains without a concrete timetable for a return, Peter Fleischer of Fox Sports Memphis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley met with a doctor Thursday night, but nothing has been reported indicating any sort of timetable for a return. He was seen walking without a boot on his foot Friday, which seems to indicate his situation is improving. He'll remain day-to-day moving forward, but it doesn't seem likely that he'll be ready to return come Saturday's game against the Knicks.

Conley (Achilles) has been ruled out of Tuesday's matchup with the Rockets, Johnathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was limited in Monday's practice and didn't see enough improvement going into Tuesday, so he'll remain on the sidelines for the fourth straight game. Look for Mario Chalmers to remain in the starting lineup in his place and receive the bulk of the minutes at point guard. Conley's next opportunity to return will be Thursday's outing versus the Pistons.

Conley (Achilles) was limited at Monday's practice and is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Rockets, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley continues to deal with a sore left Achilles, which has forced him to miss the Grizzlies' last three games. His limited activity Monday isn't exactly the most encouraging sign, but the team will wait to evaluate him at shootiaround Tuesday before updating his status. If Conley is held out, Mario Chalmers figures to make another start in his place.

Conley (Achilles) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley, as well as Courtney Lee (hip), are both set to sit out Sunday's matchup with the Celitcs. The Grizzlies used Mario Chalmers as the starting point guard the last two games, so look for that to be the case again on Sunday. Chalmers recorded 39 and 40 minutes in back-to-back games, so look for a similar workload with Conley sidelined. Conley's next opportunity to return will be Tuesday versus the Rockets.

Conley (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has already missed two games due to a sore left Achilles, with no end in sight to his next game action. Because Courtney Lee (hip) is also doubtful to take the court Sunday, the Grizzlies will likely turn to a backcourt pairing of Mario Chalmers and Tony Allen.

Conley (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Denver, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley's left Achilles injury will sideline him for a third consecutive game Friday, and with Courtney Lee (hip) also ruled out, the Grizzlies will be thin in the back court against the Nuggets. The Grizzlies started the game without a true point guard in Conley's place Thursday, but Mario Chalmers ultimately ended up getting 39 minutes against the Thunder.
