The Grizzlies upgraded Conley from out to doubtful on their injury report Thursday night, less than three weeks after he broke bones in his lower back, an injury expected to keep him out at least six weeks. The Grizzlies cleared some roster space by assigning rookie guard Wade Baldwin IV to their D-League affiliate, the Iowa Energy, and waiving veteran guard Toney Douglas who had been signed under a hardship waiver.
Memphis also announced that rookie forward Deyonta Davis will miss up to eight weeks after tearing the plantar fascia in his left foot Tuesday night in a loss at Cleveland.
