Heel Injury Nearly Prevented Memphis Grizzlies’ Mike Conley from Returning to Top-30 Status

On Monday, HoopsHype released their top-30 rankings of NBA players with an age of 30 or older for the 2018-19 NBA season. When considering the Memphis Grizzlies‘ roster, Mike Conley immediately comes to mind.

Now in his 12th professional season all spent as a member of the Grizzlies organization, Conley has made a name for himself as one of the league’s most efficient point guards on both ends of the floor. He has become Mr. Reliable, even after missing 70 games in the 2017-18 season.

Playing in only 12 games for Memphis last season, looking back, it was an incredibly smart decision by the Grizzlies to shut down their starting point guard.
