Mike Conley scored seven points on 2-of-7 shooting (including a three) with four rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and one block in Friday's win over the Warriors. This line would be great if he would have scored a whole lot more, which has been the problem with Conley lately. Yes, the Warriors are soft inside and it made sense to go to the bigs tonight, but he needs to get be more assertive if he wants to climb back into the elite fantasy ranks.

Mike Conley acknowledged that he's looking to be more aggressive with his shot selection on offense. Conley has shot 52 percent over his last five games and has been more aggressive coming off of pick and roll opportunities. "I'm a role player," Conley said. "I feel like that's what my role has jumped to. I have to be more offensive-minded." For the season, Conley is averaging 13.2 points, 5.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.3 3-pointers on 42.7 percent shooting.

Mike Conley returned from his ankle injury against the Thunder on Thursday and shot 7-of-19 from the field for 17 points with three rebounds, four assists, three steals and three 3-pointers in 38 minutes. He looked healthy for the most part, but was settling for jumpers more often than usual. Only 11 percent of his attempts on Wednesday came at the rim, which is down 35 percent this season. Conley also had a season high of nine attempts from beyond the arc and he's safe to put back in all lineups.

Mike Conley (ankle) will play against the Thunder on Thursday. He took part of non-contact practice on Wednesday and it's still unclear how close he is to 100 percent. Conley went right up until game time on Monday before he was ruled out, so there's a good chance he may be able to approach his usual load of 33.3 minutes per game. He should be in all lineups and Jerryd Bayless is just a lukewarm spot-start against OKC.

Mike Conley (ankle) participated in the non-contact portion of practice Wednesday. Conley is hoping to return Thursday against the Thunder after getting two extra days of treatment on his ankle. It's good that he practiced today, but we'll have to see how his ankle responds overnight. We still consider him questionable for Thursday's game and owners will want to check back after shootaround tomorrow morning. Jerryd Bayless would get the start if Conley can't go against OKC.

Mike Conley (ankle) is hoping to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Thunder. Conley will have two additional days of treatment to see how his ankle responds. Conley tested out the ankle on Monday before the game and said he wasn't feeling good moving on it, so he should be considered questionable at this time for Thursday. Jerryd Bayless would draw another start if Conley misses another game.

Updating a previous report, Mike Conley (ankle) will not play on Monday. Jerryd Bayless will have his hands full vs. Jrue Holiday and the 76ers, but he makes for an intriguing spot-starter. Conley will have a few days to rest before the Grizzlies next game in Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Coach Lionel Hollins said that Mike Conley (ankle) will "probably" play on Monday, but there is "no real word" on his availability. This looks like good news after Conley was lifted from Sunday's game and was in a walking boot on Sunday night. However, it's still very possible Conley misses Monday's game depending on how his ankle responded overnight, but the initial report is that Conley escaped serious injury. It's also worth noting that Conley said he was dealing with "a lot of pain" and said that it was more of a "bone bruise than a sprain."

Mike Conley, who left Sunday's game after four minutes due to a sprained left ankle, was in a walking boot after the game and unsure about his availability for Monday's game against the Sixers. Given the fact he didn't return tonight and is in a walking boot, we'd be surprised to see him on the court Monday night, giving owners in a weekly leagues a tough decision to make. If he's out, Jerryd Bayless is going to be worth a pick-and-play until Conley is back.

Mike Conley suffered a sprained left ankle in Sunday's game against the Hornets and he will not return.
