Grizzlies' Mike Conley: Not in starting lineup Friday

Conley isn't listed in the Grizzlies' starting lineup for Friday's matchup against the Heat.

Analysis:

In a surprising decision, Andrew Harrison will garner the start at point guard Friday, but Conley is apparently active and available to play. Coach David Fizdale is likely just attempting to limit Conley's playing time in the first half of a back-to-back set, especially after the point guard logged a season-high 45 minutes in Wednesday's double-overtime victory over the 76ers. Conley will presumably reclaim starting duties in Saturday's rematch with the Heat, but an update should be provided on that front prior to tip off.
