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 hit just 7-of-16 shots against the Kings on Friday, but still managed 19 points with five rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers.
Conley got caught up in junk ball but was able to put up numbers in that environment. He has been a mixed bag lately and we wouldn't use tonight's game as a measuring stick.

Mike Conley scored just 10 points with two rebounds, three assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
He's been cold in his last three, averaging 7.3 points, 2.7 assist and 1.0 boards. Conley is second in the league in steals and he's hitting a career-high 1.3 triples per game this year, so offering a buy-low deal could pay dividends.

Mike Conley had 16 points, two rebounds, four assists, three steals and a 3-pointer on 6-of-12 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Warriors.
Conley might be heating up after scoring 15 points on Monday, and is now averaging 13.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.2 3-pointers over his last five games, and has hit double digits in scoring in three of his last five games, which is a plus.

Mike Conley scored 15 points on 5-of-11 shooting (including two threes) with five rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one block in Monday's blowout win over the Kings.
Conley has been slumping a little bit but has been more hit than miss over the past week, so maybe he's ready to resume being an elite fantasy asset. Marc Gasol scored 13 points with six boards, three assists and two blocks, Zach Randolph posted 17 points with seven rebounds, four assists and a three, and Rudy Gay went cold with eight points on 2-of-10 shooting with an otherwise solid stat line in the win.

Mike Conley struggled in Friday's loss, scoring six points on 2-of-8 shooting (no threes) with three rebounds, three assists, and two steals.
There was a rumor that Conley was struggling with the flu, and he has dealt with minor issues like that during the past two up-and-down weeks. The Grizzlies were without Zach Randolph (flu), Rudy Gay (19 points, 8-of-21 FGs, nine rebounds) played with a heavy heart due to the death of his grandmother, and Tony Allen really struggled with four points on 2-of-9 shooting with three rebounds, one assist, and zero steals in the loss.
