Mike Conley (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Nuggets

Conley (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Ronald Tillery of the Commercial Appeal reports.

Analysis:

Conley continues to battle back from an Achilles injury, but it's now expected to cost him a second consecutive game. With Courtney Lee also doubtful for Friday, the starting backcourt will likely feature Mario Chalmers and Tony Allen. Chalmers played over 38 minutes during Wednesday's game and nearly triple-doubled, so expect him to see another large bump in minutes Friday in Conley's absence. If he does sit out, Conley's next opportunity to take the court will be Sunday against the Celtics.
