During Game 5 between the Jazz and Grizzlies last night, Mike Conley left in the second quarter after experiencing right hamstring soreness. This morning an MRI revealed a mild right hamstring strain. He will be reevaluated prior to Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Conley, 33, averaged 17.4 points, 8.6 assists and 38 rebounds in five games against Memphis and will have a bit of time to recover as Utah awaits the winner of a first-round series between the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks to determine its next opponent. Dallas leads the series 3-2 with Game 6 slated for Friday night.
