Jazz head coach Quin Snyder has provided a bit of an update on the status of Conley moving forward, but unfortunately, it hasn’t given us much insight as to when the All-Star guard is actually going to return to action.</p><p>Speaking before Saturday’s pivotal tilt against the Clippers in Staples Center, Snyder said that Utah’s advantage in the series has absolutely nothing to do with the team’s decision to have Conley sit out Game 3:</p><blockquote>“In no way are we feeling some sort of even small form of success,” said Snyder, via <a href="https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/jazz-guard-mike-conley-remains-sidelined-hamstring-strain/">Sportsnet</a>. Obviously, you’re glad you won a couple games,” Snyder said. “We know how difficult the series is going to be and when Mike’s ready, he’ll be back.”</blockquote><p>At this point, it’s really hard to determine how Conley has progressed in his road to recovery. For his part, Snyder has decided to be cryptic with his response, saying that Conley will only take the court if and when he’s deemed fit enough to play. As it is, it looks like the Jazz have been preparing for life without Conley.</p><p>Behind the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-magic-johnsons-spicy-take-on-donovan-mitchell-lebron-james-kevin-durant/">outstanding play</a> of Donovan Mitchell, the Jazz did a tremendous job winning both games on their home floor. With the series now swinging to LA, Utah will now look to steal at least one win from the Clippers in Staples Center. A victory in Game 3 or 4 should put them in a tremendous position to advance to the Western Conference Finals — with or without Mike Conley.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bogdanovic will need to elevate his play against the Clippers, just as he did when both Conley and Donovan Mitchell were sidelined at the end of the regular season.</p><p>Bogdanovic was nothing short of elite during that aforementioned stretch. He averaged 25.1 points over the course of the last 11 regular-season games, most of which came without either Conley or Mitchell on the floor. The 32-year-old shot 51.6 percent from the floor during that stretch, including 43.1 percent from beyond the arc. Most importantly, the Jazz kept winning.</p><p>Utah went 7-2 in its final nine games in May, staving off the Phoenix Suns for the best record in the Western Conference. The Jazz continued that momentum in their first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies, rebounding from a loss in Game 1 to win each of the next four games. Bogdanovic was stellar, making an impact as a shooter and on the glass.</p><p>However, the Jazz will need the veteran swingman to do even more against the Clippers.</p><p>Conley initiated a lot of Utah’s pick-and-roll action and was terrific in terms of getting into the lane and making plays for teammates. That figured to be imperative for the Jazz in dissecting the Clippers, who previously struggled to keep Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic out of the painted area.</p><p>Bogdanovic is quietly excellent in terms of his slashing ability and scoring around the rim, but might need to do more in the playmaking department especially if the Jazz hope to exploit L.A. with a continued barrage of three-point shooting. That would also take a good deal of the pressure off Donovan Mitchell who, though he excelled last round, is still pretty fresh off a lengthy absence with that ankle injury.</p><p>It is vital the Jazz get off on the right foot and not immediately cede the home-court advantage to a battle-tested Clippers team. Utah could have its hands full, but Bogdanovic has already shown he is capable of rising to the occasion. He will have to do just that in Conley’s absence.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In that stretch, the franchise went a more than respectable 15-6, actually averaging 120 points per game as a team. For those unaware how math works, that 15-6 record is good for a .714 winning percentage. <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/utah-jazz-record-this-season-without-mike-conley" rel="noopener">Thanks, StatMuse!</a></p><p>On the surface, all looks well, right? Not so fast my friend!</p><p>It’s now Clippers-Jazz Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs. This isn’t some ho-hum regular season game where Utah likely ate on a few bottom-feeders to make that record look all sorts of fine.</p><p>Jokes aside, this is obviously a big blow for Utah. Even worse, and while it felt like a known that he’d be out for Game 1, there’s a sense of <a href="https://twitter.com/MarkG_Medina/status/1402319742614982658?s=20" rel="noopener">unease about Mike Conley in the series</a> from a bigger picture standpoint. In turn, making this first game important for whoever the Jazz deem suitable (enough) to try to eat some of his minutes — though there’s a good chance the bench just gets shortened instead.</p><p>If the latter ends up happening, and Conley is out for more than just Game 1, we can have conversations about what this means in terms relative to depth and exhaustion as the series grows longer in the tooth.</p><p>Nonetheless, the baseline stats suggest the Utah Jazz will enter Game 1 as a more than competent opponent for the Clippers.</p><p>From a larger perspective, though, all depending on what happens with Mike Conley after further evaluations, Clippers-Jazz Game 1 can be an all-or-nothing game if the veteran guard misses extended time. No pressure or anything.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Veteran point guard <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/mike-conley/a18208f7">Mike Conley</a> had to leave the<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-news-mike-conley-out-for-remainder-of-game-5-vs-grizzlies/"> game early</a> and missed the remainder of Game 5 with an injury as the Jazz went on to win effortlessly. Now, there is an update regarding Conley’s <a href="https://twitter.com/Tjonesonthenba/status/1400596002021670917">status</a> as the Jazz gear up for the Western Conference Semifinals.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">An MRI has revealed a mild right hamstring strain for Mike Conley. He is considered day to day and will be re-evaluated prior to Game 1 of the Western Conference senifinals</p><p>— Tony Jones (@Tjonesonthenba) <a href="https://twitter.com/Tjonesonthenba/status/1400596002021670917?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">June 3, 2021</a></p></blockquote><div class="code-block code-block-20" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;"></div><p></p></figure><p>In essence, a mild hamstring strain is a best-case scenario for the Jazz and Conley, who has been aiming for a trip to the NBA Finals for his entire career.</p><p>Conley only played 11 minutes in Game 5 before leaving early. On the year, he is averaging 16.2 points with six assists as the Jazz ended the regular season with the best record in the NBA and home-court advantage throughout the entirety of the playoffs.</p><p>Still, the Jazz are hopeful Conley can be healthy enough to suit up for Game 1 as they await their opponent for the next series. They have a few days off, especially with the other Western Conference series still ongoing, so that could bode well for Conley’s chances at returning for Game 1.</p><p>For now he is listed as day-to-day, and the loss of Conley for any amount of time will be tough for this team to overcome in their quest of a run at the NBA Finals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
