SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz announced on Tuesday that Jazz guard Mike Conley has returned to the NBA bubble.
On Sunday morning Conley rushed home to Columbus, Ohio when his wife gave birth to the couple’s third son. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Conley arrived at the NBA’s Walt Disney World campus in Florida on Monday night.
Conley missed Game 1 of the Jazz’s first-round matchup with the Denver Nuggets on Monday.
The Jazz did not give details on a return date for Conley, but the NBA’s protocol up to this point has been that if a player leaves the bubble with an excused absence and tests daily while gone, then he would quarantine for four days before rejoining the team.
