The health of Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley is one of the biggest question marks as the Jazz prepare to play the LA Clippers in the second round of the NBA playoffs.

On Monday evening, the Jazz announced that Conley is questionable to play in Game 1 Tuesday night at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City because of the mild right hamstring strain he started feeling during Utah’s Game 5 closeout victory over the Memphis Grizzlies last Wednesday.

Conley has missed significant time over the past two regular seasons because of hamstring issues, but he said after Game 5 that this time around didn’t feel as severe as previous injuries, and given that it’s the playoffs, he is more eager to play as soon as he can.
