Conley (Achilles) has been cleared to take part in full-court activities during training camp and the preseason.
EDGE Analysis
Conley himself indicated back in early June that he was fully recovered from the tendinitis in his left Achilles that resulted in an early end to his past season, and was even hopeful to play for the United States in the 2016 Summer Olympics, though he was ultimately left off the roster. Any disappointment over not getting to play in Rio de Janeiro likely went away in July, when Conley re-signed with the Grizzlies on a five-year, $153 million contract, the richest deal in NBA history. The huge financial commitment indicates that the Grizzlies are completely comfortable with where Conley is at on the health front, but fantasy owners may want to exercise more caution with the point guard, as he's missed at least nine games in each of the last three seasons. That said, Conley is still an early-round talent in drafts, having averaged 15.3 points (on 42.2% shooting), 6.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.2 steals in 31.4 minutes per game in 2015-16.

Conley agreed in principal to a five-year, $153 million contract with the Grizzlies on Friday, ESPN's Marc Stein reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley's deal, when finalized, will be the richest in NBA history. The Grizzlies have had a banner day for their franchise, inking a max deal with talented wing Chandler Parsons before getting Conley to agree to this historic contract. Although Conley's box score production has taken a slight decline in recent seasons, he is still one of the better two-way point guards in the league. The addition of Parsons alongside him suddenly gives the Grizzlies a potentially formidable starting five heading into 2016. One concern for Conley in the long term will be staying healthy given that he's been plagued by a wide variety of nagging injuries over the course of his career.

Conley (Achilles) said Tuesday that he's completely healthy and hopes to play for the United States team in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, Ronald Tillery of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley missed the final month of the regular season and the Grizzlies' first-round playoff series loss to the Spurs with tendinitis in his left Achilles, but after taking the last two-plus months to recuperate, it looks like he's finally healed. While Conley remains one of 26 players remaining on the United States' preliminary roster, he may need at least two of John Wall, Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving to withdraw from the competition if he hopes to crack the final 12-man roster. If Conley does get the call to Rio, it would mark an especially busy summer for him, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent in July and should attract several suitors.

Conley (Achilles) is not expected to return for the regular season or the playoffs, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The last update from the team suggested that Conley would be reevaluated at the end of the regular season, but he apparently met with doctors within the last week, who advised him to not return this season. Assuming the point guard does in fact call it quits, he'll head into free agency after spending the first nine seasons of his career in Memphis. In the meantime, Jordan Farmar, Bryce Cotton, and Xavier Munford will head into the postseason as the reaming point guard options.

Conley (Achilles) will not be reevaluted until the end of the regular season, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was initially given a three-to-four week timetable, and it looks as though he'll end up following the longer end of that estimation. In his absence, the depleted Grizzlies have relied upon the trio of Ray McCallum, Jordan Farmar, and Xavier Munford to absorb the minutes at point guard, and that'll be the case over the final 10 games. The hope is that Conley will be ready to return for the first round of the postseason, but it's unclear at this time if that's realistic.

Conley (foot) was diagnosed with tendinitis in his Achilles and will miss 3-to-4 weeks, Peter Fleischer of Fox 13 in Memphis reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Grizzlies continue to be hit by injury after injury, and they'll now be without their starting point guard for at least the rest of the month. Conley had already missed the last three games, and with Mario Chalmers (Achilles) done for the season, the likes of Briante Weber and Lance Stephenson figure to handle the majority of the point guard duties going forward. It's possible Memphis could add another player via the D-League, but at this point they have not announced any plans to do so.

Conley is listed as out indefinitely, as he continues to work back from a sore Achilles, Ronald Tillery of the Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley suffered an Achilles injury during Sunday's matchup with the Suns and was originally given a three-to-five day timetable for a return. He's being listed as out indefinitely, so it remains unclear how long the Grizzlies plan to hold him out. Because of the lack of clarity around the situation, he should continue to be considered questionable for Friday's outing versus the Pelicans until we get an official update on his status, although it's looking highly unlikely that he's able to make a surprise return. Newly signed Briante Weber and Lance Stephenson would likely see increased minutes if Conley does indeed sit out as expected.

Conley (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavs, and he'll be reevaluated in 3-to-5 days, Kevin Lipe of the Memphis Flyer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley apparently suffered the injury on Sunday against the Suns, and the 3-to-5 day timetable means he'll also miss Wednesday's game in Boston. He could potentially return Friday against the Pelicans, but it's far too early to tell at this point. In Conley's absence, expect Mario Chalmers to enter the starting lineup and see big minutes as the only other true point guard on the active roster. Lance Stephenson also figures to step into a temporarily expanded role.

Conley had 22 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four assists, two steals, and one rebound in 30 minutes during the Grizzlies' 109-100 loss to the Suns on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has hit the 20-point mark 17 times this season, and he had a fairly efficient game on Sunday despite the loss. He has only exceeded 30 minutes once in the last seven contests, but it hasn't been because of injuries or foul trouble. The Grizzlies are right back in action on Monday versus the Cavaliers.

Conley contributed 24 points (9-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five assists, three steals, two rebounds, and one block in 34 minutes during the Grizzlies' 104-98 win versus the Kings on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was simply unstoppable on Wednesday, carrying the Grizzlies to victory behind his 24-point masterpiece. Over the last five games, the scrappy 28-year-old point guard is averaging 18.2 points on 54 percent shooting, 7.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 1.6 threes, 1.2 steals, and 0.4 blocks in 30 minutes per contest.
