Mike Conley Jr., is coming off of one of the toughest seasons of his career where he played in only 12 of the 82 games in 2017. A season that put a nagging injury to rest with surgery. For years Conley described the bone spur in his left heel as a “golf ball,” but that was fixed when the spur was removed this past season.
For years Conley rehabbed his heel without the surgery, and team doctors told Conley that he wouldn’t need the procedure, but the situation progressed.
The injury forced Conley to sit out one of the longest seasons in franchise history, it felt like at least.
