The Jazz are without Donovan Mitchell, but still one of the NBA’s best teams, and made short work of the Thunder tonight. Via the Salt Lake Tribune:
Mike Conley is back.
Not really all the way back yet, y’know, but back enough.
The Utah Jazz and their fans will happily take what they can get right now.
After missing nine late-season games due to right hamstring soreness, the veteran point point returned to action Friday night in the Jazz’s penultimate matchup of the regular season, a 109-93 decimation of the thoroughly-tanking Oklahoma City Thunder.
He started at point guard, sending Georges Niang back to a reserve role, and came out aggressive.
Conley’s shot was off a bit, as he made just 2 of 7 overall and 1 of 3 from deep, but he impressed with his activity level.
In the win for the Jazz tonight, Bojan Bogdanovic scored 22 points, Jordan Clarkson scored 18 off the bench, and Rudy Gobert had 16 points and 18 rebounds.
The team should have Mitchell back for the first round of the playoffs. Hopefully.
