Mike Conley, out since Nov. 18 with a posterior labral tear in his right shoulder, only needs to be cleared for contact practices -- something that could happen as soon as Tuesday.

The Grizzlies' medical staff still must re-evaluate Conley.

"Without any stress on it, I can dribble the ball and I can shoot," Conley said. "I feel like I'm back when I'm out there running by myself. But there's still a little weakness in it to the point where I don't know how it would react to getting bumped."
