Grizzlies' Conley to return from 4-game absence Friday

The Memphis Grizzlies will have Mike Conley in the lineup when they take on the Dallas Mavericks on Friday.

Conley has been sidelined due to an ankle sprain, but will suit up on Friday, reports Grizzlies sidelines reporter Rob Fischer.

The Grizzlies have struggled immensely without Conley, going 2-3 during his absence, which dates back to last Wednesday, when Conley injured his ankle against the Boston Celtics.

Playing in his eighth season in Memphis, Conley is in the midst of yet another stellar campaign, posting averages of 16.3 points, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game while playing top-notch defense at the point.
