Grizzlies' Mike Conley starts in Game 2 vs Warriors (The Associated Press)

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Memphis Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger says injured point guard Mike Conley is going to try to play in Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors.

Conley was warming up wearing a protective mask before Tuesday night's game. He had been upgraded from doubtful to questionable after the team's morning shootaround in San Francisco.

Joerger says if Conley plays Tuesday night, he will start. Conley has missed the last three games recovering from surgery to repair broken bones in his face.

He has been shooting and going through non-contact drills, including before Sunday's series opener.
