What It Means:

There haven't been many recent reports on Conley, but it appears that he's nearing a return. He is reportedly making progress and is at the end of the two-week timetable he was given on December 18th. When he finally returns from his Achilles issue, Mario Chalmers will see a limited role with Tyreke Evans and Marc Gasol losing some usage in the process.

In just 12 games, Conley has averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game. He's projected for 17.5 points, 4.9 assists and 3.2 rebounds over 33.6 minutes and 41 games the rest of the season.
