Grizzlies' Mike Conley intends to come back from Achilles heel injury this season

Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley intends to return this season from the achilles tendon injury but he doesn’t know yet when he will hit the court again.

Conley also said he's progressed to some light contact drill work with assistant coaches. He's basically testing tolerance levels to intensity drills. Says there's still a battle with soreness at times. Just the ebb and flow of dealing with rehab.

Conley: "I'm just going through the process, and unfortunately the process is slow. But I'm making progress."
