​Just when the Memphis Grizzlies look to be returning to full strength, they get hit in the face with another setback.





As the Grizz welcome JaMychal Green back after he went down with ankle injury, they lose the face of the franchise, Mike Conley, who is dealing with left heel and Achilles soreness.

Grizzlies say Mike Conley will undergo therapy and treatment to help promote healing and alleviate soreness in his left heel and Achilles after consultations with physicians and the medical staff. There is no timetable for his return at this time. — Marc J. Spears (@MarcJSpearsESPN) November 17, 2017

​​It certainly isn't a worst-case scenario for Conley, as nothing is actually torn or severely damaged, but a bothersome Achilles is nothing to be taken lightly, especially when there's the added element of heel soreness.





Conley more than likely tried playing through his aching Achilles, which means extra wear and tear on a body that shouldn't need to deal with extra stress. Predictably, Conley overworked himself working around the injury.

If Mike Conley is hurt, he needs to sit down. Otherwise, I liked his game a lot better when he had something to prove. Grizz wasting huge bench efforts. — L. Jason Smith (@JasonSmith929) November 14, 2017

​​Hopefully, Conley didn't do too much damage and will be back out there sooner than later.





In the meantime, backup PG Mario Chalmers will continue to fill in as the starter, while Tyreke Evans should continue to see a very heavy workload.
