Grizzlizes' Mike Conley Out Indefinitely With Sore Achilles

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley is out indefinitely with a sore left heel and Achilles tendon.

The Grizzlies updated Conley's status Friday after the guard consulted with the team's medical staff and other physicians. The team plans to have another update on his status in approximately two weeks.

Conley will receive treatment and therapy to ease the soreness. The Grizzlies have no timetable for Conley's return.

The guard has started 12 of the Grizzlies' first 14 games this season. Conley is averaging 17.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists in his 11th NBA season. He has been playing an average of 31.1 minutes each game.

Conley sat out Wednesday night's 116-113 loss to Indiana and also missed a Nov. 1 game against Orlando.
