Grizzlies' Mike Conley: Not expected for playoffs

Conley (Achilles) is not expected to return for the regular season or the playoffs, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.

The last update from the team suggested that Conley would be reevaluated at the end of the regular season, but he apparently met with doctors within the last week, who advised him to not return this season. Assuming the point guard does in fact call it quits, he'll head into free agency after spending the first nine seasons of his career in Memphis. In the meantime, Jordan Farmar, Bryce Cotton, and Xavier Munford will head into the postseason as the reaming point guard options.
