Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Mike Conley will miss six to eight weeks with a fractured vertebrae, league sources told The Vertical. Conley suffered a traverse process fracture in his back in a third-quarter collision during the Grizzlies' loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night. For the Grizzlies, the loss of Conley is devastating to continuing the momentum of the franchise's fast start under first-year coach David Fizdale.
