So if having to deal with Damian Lillard on one healthy foot was bad enough, add an elbow to the face to Mike Conley’s injury log.
Conley suffered an elbow from second year guard C.J. McCollum that forced him to leave Game 3 and didn’t return in a 115-109 win against the Portland TrailBlazers.
The Memphis Grizzlies are up 3-0 and looking to end the series, except they’re down to one healthy point guard in journeyman Nick Calathes. To make matters worse, Beno Udrih who starred in Game 1 was in street clothes for Game 3, his status is uncertain for Game 4 due to an ankle injury.
Close out games are tough on the road, and get even become more difficult if Mike Conley isn’t in uniform on Monday at the Rose Garden.
