Grizzlies' Mike Conley: Will return Friday
Conley (back) will be available to play Friday against the Kings, Chris Vernon of The Ringer reports.
Analysis:
Conley's outlook for Friday's contest has gradually improved over the last couple days, and he's now set to get back on the court roughly a month ahead of his expected return date. The report didn't indicate if Conley would be limited at all Friday or if he would start, but if he's playing, it seems likely he would be able to handle something at least close to his regular role.
