Michael Wallace: Bickerstaff on @Mike Conley: “He’s got that itch. We were just joking that he doesn’t even know what a basketball feels like anymore. He wants to be around. His teammates enjoy him. They smile when they see him. He smiles when he sees them. It’s therapeutic for him to be around.” twitter.com/MyMikeCheck/st…
Pau advised his brother to remain professional and mentally tough. Memphis (18-44) is mired in its second double-digit game slide this season. The Grizzlies, who lost 11 in a row earlier this season, own the NBA’s lowest winning percentage (.290) and have the fewest wins of any team in the league. “What I told him is, ‘Do your best. Keep competing.’ That’s the only thing you can control,” Pau said. “You can’t control that one of your best players, Mike Conley, is out for the year. You can’t control that (Chandler) Parsons, one of your biggest signings, has an (injury) issue and so forth. All you can control is your effort, your work ethic, your mindset going into games.”
Mike Conley: By any means necessary… #GNG #heeling
Grizzlies guard Mike Conley shared a hilarious video of himself post-surgery on Wednesday. Conley had to have a heel surgery that ended his season. Afterwards, he was singing Carry On My Wayward Son for some reason. He doesn’t even know why.

Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley simply wants to be pain free for a change. That just wasn’t going to be possible unless he agreed to season-ending surgery to repair his left heel. “I’ve had this for three years. All the way back three years ago one of the doctors said eventually you’ll need to have this heel shaved down,” Conley said Tuesday. “I didn’t want to do it. I wanted to exhaust every option before going to that extent.”
