Fri Jan 13 2023 | 20:15 | Mike Conley Rested On Friday |
Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley will be rested for Friday's clash with Orlando. It's the first leg of a back-to-back for the team and Utah is keeping the veteran floor general fresh for Saturday's matchup against Philadelphia. Conley has had an up-and-down ride in Utah this season but is averaging a career-high 7.5 assists, to go along with 10.1 points and 1.0 steals. Collin Sexton (hamstring) is back from a five-game absence Friday and is a strong candidate to start. However, he is returning with a minutes restriction and might not be able to make a big enough impact to please fantasy managers. Conley's absence should also give Malik Beasley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker an opportunity to pick up extra work. |

Mon Dec 12 2022 | 18:04 | Mike Conley Returns To Practice On Monday |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley was able to be a full participant during Monday's practice. He was held out of Saturday's game, which was the second leg of a back-to-back set. The expectation is that Conley is going to suit up for Tuesday's contest. His return should mean that Nickeil Alexander-Walker heads back to the bench. His fantasy value will certainly take a hit off the bench, but he should still have value while Collin Sexton is out. |

Fri Dec 9 2022 | 14:43 | Mike Conley Cleared To Play On Friday |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) has been officially cleared to make his return to the court on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is great news after Conley has missed the last nine games due to a knee injury. The expectation is that Conley is going to immediately slide back into the starting unit. Fellow guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) was starting, but he's set to miss time because of an injury. It's likely that Conley remains the starter once Sexton is back to full health. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Conley back in their lineups on Friday. |

Wed Dec 7 2022 | 19:43 | Mike Conley Won't Return On Wednesday |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) was hopeful to get back on the court for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran guard has missed the last eight games, but is making progress. Despite that, the Jazz will have Conley sit out at least one more game. That being said, Collin Sexton will continue to run with the starting five until Conley is healthy enough to return. Sexton could be an interesting fantasy option on Wednesday with the Jazz banged up. |

Tue Dec 6 2022 | 23:32 | Mike Conley Could Return On Wednesday |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Warriors. The veteran has missed his previous eight games because of a knee injury, allowing Collin Sexton to take his spot in the rotation. The former Cavalier has averaged 17.1 points in nine starts this season. While Conley would presumably return to the starting lineup if he's available, he will likely have his minutes monitored, so Sexton could remain nearly as productive. |

Mon Dec 5 2022 | 15:20 | Mike Conley Hopeful To Return On Wednesday |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is hopeful to return to the court for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 35-year-old hasn't played since November 19th due to a lingering knee issue. However, it sounds like the veteran guard is ready to return after an eight-game absence. His return would likely send Collin Sexton to the bench, which would hurt his fantasy value. Sexton should still be productive off the bench, but his playing time will likely take a hit. |

Sat Dec 3 2022 | 19:26 | Mike Conley Remains Sidelined For Saturday |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This comes as no surprise considering Conley hasn't played since November 19th due to a left popliteus strain. The rebuilding Jazz really have no reason to rush the veteran guard back onto the court. In the meantime, Collin Sexton will continue to start and have an increased role in the offense. He should be rostered in basically all fantasy formats with Conley having no timetable in sight. |

Sat Nov 26 2022 | 16:23 | Mike Conley Will Miss Another One On Saturday |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (left popliteus strain) will miss his fourth straight game on Saturday against Phoenix. As a result, Collin Sexton should continue to fill the void in the lineup. The former Cavalier has averaged 14.8 points and 6.0 assists in four starts this season. While Sexton's shooting percentages need to improve, he's beginning to find his groove after a relatively slow start to the 2022-23 campaign. |

Thu Nov 24 2022 | 21:26 | Mike Conley To Miss Friday's Game |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (leg) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the third game in a row that Conley has missed due to a leg issue. That means, Collin Sexton will make another start with Conley out. Sexton should already be rostered in most formats, but fantasy managers should make sure to add him if he's available. Talen Horton-Tucker will see increased workload as well, but won't be a great streaming option. |

Wed Nov 23 2022 | 00:38 | Mike Conley Out Again Versus Detroit |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is out against the Pistons on Wednesday. The 35-year-old strained the Popliteus muscle in his left knee, an injury he picked up during Saturday's meeting in Portland. As a result, Collin Sexton, who had 10 points in 28 minutes against the Trail Blazers, may remain in the starting lineup and could conceivably play much better this time around. |

Sun Nov 20 2022 | 00:21 | Mike Conley Injures Knee on Saturday |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) won't return to Saturday's matchup against the Utah Jazz after hyperextending his left knee. The 35-year-old has averaged 10.9 points and 8.2 assists this season, so he's at least offered something to fantasy managers. However, it's certainly possible Conley misses time moving ahead, which would open the door for Collin Sexton to replace him in the lineup. Sexton had 19 points in his only start this season and may thrive on the scoring end with an elevated role. |

Tue Nov 8 2022 | 16:19 | Mike Conley Posts Double-Double In Win Over Lakers |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley posted his third double-double of the season in a 139-116 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. The 15-year veteran registered 14 points, 12 assists, and one rebound on a crazy efficient 71.4% shooting. While he isn't tasked with being one of the leading scorers of the team anymore, his assist numbers have gone up to a new career-high average of 7.5 per game. Conley is a very nice asset to have in deeper leagues and especially in points leagues that reward more for efficiency and low turnover numbers. |

Sat Oct 29 2022 | 20:46 | Mike Conley Won't Play Against Grizzlies |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (rest) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. The veteran will get a routine night off with the team playing its second of back-to-back games. As a result, Collin Sexton will take his place. Sexton has averaged only 11.0 points, 3.0 boards, and 1.5 assists while shooting a disastrous 28.6% this season. However, the 23-year-old may turn things around in his first start of the 2022-23 campaign. |

Sun Sep 11 2022 | 15:42 | Jazz May Have Trouble Moving Mike Conley |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley is a name rumored to be on the move. With the team moving on from Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, it's a new era in Salt Lake City. Bojan Bogdanovic and Jordan Clarkson are also favorites to be traded. Still, dealing Conley may not be easy, primarily considering his hefty salary and advanced NBA age. The 34-year-old has also had a dip in production, finishing the 2021-22 season by averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 assists, and 1.3 steals. However, he's still an efficient shooter, draining 38.2% of his tries from deep during his career. Nevertheless, if Conley remains in Utah, he'll likely get minutes, keeping him relevant on the fantasy end. But he will need to stay healthy, which has been an issue over the years. |

Fri Sep 2 2022 | 20:03 | Mike Conley On The Trade Block |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley is on the trade block. With Utah already moving on from Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, it's apparent the team is looking to offload its remaining assets. Conley finished last season by averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. He also shot 40.8% from deep, and even more surprisingly, he played 72 games. Nonetheless, Conley's best days are more than likely in the past. However, he should provide sporadic value for fantasy managers no matter where he suits up in 2022-23. |

Wed Jul 20 2022 | 10:33 | Jazz Shopping Around Mike Conley |
The Utah Jazz have been talking to opposing teams to gauge trade interest on veteran guard Mike Conley, according to Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune. Jones also stated that it's unclear what kind of market there is for Conley at this moment -- if there's one at all. The 34-year-old has two years and about $45 million left on his current contract. Last year, he took a step back as he averaged 13.7 points per game -- the lowest he's averaged since 2011-12. He also averaged 5.3 assists per game while shooting 43.5% from the field. |

Wed Apr 6 2022 | 15:26 | Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley Will Miss Wednesday’s Game |
Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) and point guard Mike Conley (knee) will be held out of Wednesday's contest vs. Oklahoma City. The absences in the backcourt figure to pave the way for Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jordan Clarkson to take on significantly elevated offensive roles, while Bojan Bogdanovic could be in that mix as well. With a playoff spot sewn up, the Jazz are choosing rest for their primary ballhandlers on the second leg of a back-to-back. Barring something unforeseen, fantasy managers can anticipate having Mitchell and Conley back for full usage Friday against the Suns. |

Sun Apr 3 2022 | 09:56 | Mike Conley Has Scoring Outburst On Saturday |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley put on a show during Saturday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. Prior to Saturday, Conley had gone eight straight games without scoring at least 20 points in a contest. That changed when Conley knocked down 10-of-18 shots from the floor and hit five shots from beyond the arc. The veteran guard finished with 26 points, five rebounds, and eight assists in 36 minutes of playing time. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect 20-point performances from Conley on a daily basis. However, the Jazz are going to need him to step up if they want to have any chance in the postseason. |

Sun Mar 6 2022 | 17:53 | Mike Conley Resting Versus OKC |
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (rest) won't play on Sunday against Oklahoma City. With Conley's club playing its first of back-to-back outings, the veteran will get the night off to rest. As a result, Trent Forrest will likely take his place in the rotation, with the 23-year-old averaging 11.3 points and 5.3 assists throughout four starts this season. Forrest warrants starting consideration in deep seasonal formats. He should also be treated as a viable value option in DFS contests. |
