Mike Conley Ruled Out for game against Celtics
For the second game in a row, Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley has been ruled out due to right hamstring tightness.
His absence from Tuesday nights game was confirmed after a tweet from the Utah Jazz official twitter account surfaced on Monday afternoon.
Conley suffered the injury in the third quarter during a matchup against the Charlotte Hornets last Friday. He did not return to the game after heading into the locker room for a further examination.
The Jazz have won fifteen of their last sixteen games and are headed into arguably the toughest part of their schedule. They will take on the Celtics on Tuesday night before playing four of the top five teams in the league over the next two weeks.
Utah remains the top team in the NBA with a 19-5 record, holding a one game lead over the Los Angeles Lakers and a two game lead over the Philadelphia 76ers.
So far, there isn't news for how long Conley could be out for. We will keep you updated as we find out details regarding his injury.
