Conley certainly has had enough of the muscle injury in his right leg.
He’s been sitting and receiving treatment as he waits for his chance to get back on the court, never knowing with any exactness when that breakthrough will come, all as the Jazz have slogged their way through the postseason.
Many believe he might have been the difference-maker for the Jazz in their series against L.A.
After the Jazz acquired him in a trade before the 2019-20 season, it took Conley longer than anyone expected to get acclimated to playing for the Jazz, forming and re-forming himself to his new role.
He played in 51 out of a possible 72 games in a shortened season.
Those last numbers are troubling, that 51 games, even adjusted for a season in which 10 fewer games were played, is one of the lowest number of availabilities by Conley in a 14-year career.
As is their way, no Jazz managers are willing to give out any specific information as to what they’ll be willing to offer Conley as he approaches free agency.
With the newly inflated long-term contracts of Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, the Jazz have money decisions to make on other accounts, conversely, though, Gobert needs someone to feed him the ball and Mitchell needs help carrying the load.
