ugr23 8 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 what's your projection for him if he returns healthy? and do you believe he can return healthier? this achilles injury is something concerning and if their season goes like this, they might shut him down.

pilkie01 12 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Lads, is there time table for him yet? He's just been dropped in my league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well on nov 29th they said he would be 2 to 3 weeks and he was already doing on court work at the beginning of last week.. His last game was also nov 14th so that's almost a month since he last played. on dec 5th conley said he'll take his time in his recovery and they said they expect it to be fully healed once he returns. Were almost 2 weeks since the nov 29th timeline, so I assume in a couple days we'll hear he's either back near the end of this week or some time next week (it's safer to assume next week). They keep losing close games and are still only 4 spots back of the final playoff spot - so I imagine he'll want to return as quickly as possible because every loss in the West matters.

OKCFan2005 40 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Basketballmonster.com Mike Conley projected return date is 12/16 on Saturday. BBM not 100% reliable but pretty accurate imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They basically use the most optimistic date possible from a timeline, in order to keep good, injured players (like, say, Kawhi) having as many games projected as possible in their seasonlong projections so that they don't slip too far in their rankings and make things look weird.

Yeah, you're pretty much spot on. I give them (BBM) a little extra credit than you though. Any other sites to look at that's more credible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll look into beat writers if I really care but I don't know of any catch all resources for accurate information. Would also love if anyone else could provide one though.

thetomkuczek 176 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Conley (Achilles) has started performing light on-court work and conditioning, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports. An official timetable for a return still has yet to be determined. Added 6:15 pm (EST) It was announced in late November that Conley would miss two-to-three weeks. We've entered the two-week portion of that timetable, though there haven't been reports of his progress up until this news. It doesn't appear he's approaching a return very soon, as he's apparently still working on putting pressure on his Achilles and trying to get back into game shape. In the meantime, Andrew Harrison, Tyreke Evans and Mario Chalmers are all pitching in to fill in minutes at point guard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! And congrats! Pencilling in the new year, pending further notice. fwiw Jan feels like as good a guess as any but whotf can say? I just hope he’s using a personal trainer from the WWE...

Not sure about that, they had Teodosic's return as being in mid-January (month later than actual) and they nailed Kawhi's return more than a month in advance when basically no one had any idea when he'd be back. They also show the sources for all of their injury information in their updates, usually comes from beat writers or official team statements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their optimism is correct often enough, but their projections are derived from exactly where I said they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirty Little Birdie 1,141 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) As per basketballmonster - "He'll be reevaluated in ANOTHER TWO WEEKS." WTF.

ugr23 8 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I don't believe he's gonna play this season actually or at least he's not going to give us what we expected from him. The Grizzlies may tank if they don't improve their record and right now things are really bad for them. I drafted Gobert, Conley and Bradley and they're just killing me.

Also, Conley doesn't see like the type of player to sit out when healthy. I'm glad he's taking his time getting it right and will hopefully get to 100% soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kawz 382 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 He’ll definitely play but the Grizz are on a major slide and I think they’ll embrace the tank this year. Even when he’s back I’d expect rest games and for him to be pulled the last 5-10 games of the year. No proof to back any of this up but I’ll be sure to share this post in a couple months.
