Conley (Achilles) won't play Saturday against the Knicks, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Conley had been expected to miss Saturday's contest against the Knicks all along due to the Achilles injury, and now it's been made official. He met with a specialist Thursday to examine the extent of the injury, but there's still no concrete timetable set for his return. Mario Chalmers figures to make another start in Conley's place Saturday.
