After going through his shootaround on Saturday morning, Mike Conley made his way toward the reporters gathered at the Zions Bank Basketball Campus, faced the scrum, but didn’t realize he was standing just to the side of the bank of microphones waiting for him.
“Sorry,” he said after taking a step to the side. “It’s been a while.”
The Utah Jazz point guard has been sidelined for nearly a month since aggravating a hamstring injury that has caused him to miss 19 of his team’s last 20 games. But after a challenging and lengthy rehab process, Conley is expected to make his return to the court tonight as the Jazz host the Sacramento Kings.
