Mike Conley and His Destroyed Face Warmed Up Before Game 1 vs. Golden State Today
By Rob Perez
Mike Conley is a friggin’ man, man.
In Game 3/Round 1 vs. the Portland Trail Blazers, Mike took an inadvertent elbow from CJ McCollum
…it was ultimately determined that Conley required surgery to repair some of the bones in his face, and he is now the proud owner of titanium plates inside of his cheek.
Anyways, Mike was back on the floor today after suffering an injury that would have kept us mortal humans in bed for probably a month straight.

He and his cool-looking mask were just ruled OUT for the game today, but, the fact that he’s warming up is a GREAT sign for Grizzlies fans — as it appears he’ll be a game-time decision for Game 2.
Lord knows Memphis is gonna need him vs. this freight train from hell that we often refer to as “The Warriors”…
