Grizzlies' Conley out Tuesday with sprained wrist

The Memphis Grizzlies will be without point guard Mike Conley when they take on the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, reports Bryan Gutierrez of Mavs Outsider.

Conley sustained a sprained left wrist on Monday in a win against the Orlando Magic, and it limited him to just 22 minutes played.

Conley's absence leaves a giant hole in the Grizzlies' backcourt. One of Beno Udrih or Nick Calathes will likely step in to start, but neither player comes close to replicating Conley's two-way production. 

The Grizzlies are 7.7 points per 100 possessions better with Conley on the floor this season, a mark that tops even All-Star center Marc Gasol (4.5).

Conley is averaging 17.4 points, 5.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 32.1 minutes per game. He is also shooting 41.9 percent from deep and is a dark horse candidate to secure an All-Star reserve berth.
