Is Conley’s recent upswing sustainable? “I guess I would ask the question differently,” said Jazz coach Quin Snyder. “Is there something that would make someone think that it’s not sustainable? Because I think this is who he is … early on, there were so many things that were new to him and then as he’s beginning to kind of get comfortable, he gets hurt … him finding a rhythm with Donovan [Mitchell] and then with Joe [Ingles] and then with Bojan [Bogdanovic]. Rudy [Gobert] is probably as different a player that he’s played with as anybody. There was just a confluence of things.”

During the Utah Jazz’s most recent road trip, the team medical staff put together a presentation for the players and coaching staff and on Monday morning the team met with health officials from the University of Utah to educate themselves and understand how to move forward. Following Monday morning’s pregame shootaround, the team held its media availability in a room with a press conference table, rather than in the practice gym where it is normally held. “We’ve tried to be proactive as far as communicating internally,” coach Quin Snyder said. “To raise awareness and to also alleviate concerns that aren’t as founded.”

“You see a passion when he plays, and you see that even more when it’s up close and you get a chance to look in his eyes, and you see how he comes in the game, how he comes out of the game, and just how he competes,” Snyder said. “I didn’t have any preconceptions about that, but it’s been fun to see him play that way.”

It was a move first reported by The Athletic. Head coach Quin Snyder inserted Royce O’Neale back into the starting group, while notifying Conley he would take on a bench role. A few hours later, it was Joe Ingles who went to the bench, with Conley remaining the starter. The moves made for a long day for everyone involved. And then a defeat that dropped them into the sixth spot in the Western Conference made for a long night. “I was told I was coming off the bench, and I took a nap and woke up and I was starting,” Conley said. “It just happened that way. We have to take more advantage of our transition chances. We have to avoid having the basketball stick.”
