Grizzlies' Conley will not play vs. Thunder

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley will not play versus the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, the team announced.

An Achilles injury will force the 28-year-old to miss his first game of the year. He hasn't played a full 82-game season since 2008-09.

The Ohio State alumnus is averaging 15.1 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.3 steals, and is the Grizzlies' all-time leader in games played, assists, and steals.

The ninth-year player is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, and will likely be one of the hottest commodities on the market.

The Grizzlies (19-17) sit sixth in the Western Conference.
