Conley started 70 games for the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2018-2019 season. In his 12th season in the NBA, he set a new career high for points per game with 21.1. The point guard also averaged 6.4 assists per game, an improvement over his prior career average of 5.7 dimes per contest.

On Mar. 16, he dished out a season-high 12 assists against the Washington Wizards.

In June, the veteran was named the league-wide winner of the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year award. For the season, Conley led the Grizzlies in total points (1,478), assists (449), minutes played (2,342) and steals (94). The high-scoring guard has two more years remaining on his contract with the Grizzlies.

Conley started and played only 12 games for the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2017-2018 season. He started 12 of the team's first 13 games. Conley then suffered an apparent Achilles injury in mid November. He attempted to return, but the team announced on Jan. 27 that he was ruled out for the rest of the season. In the season opener on Oct. 18, Conley scored a season-high 27 points in a 103-91 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Also in that game, he dropped in a four three-point field goals, which was his season high. Conley matched that total with another four threes on Nov. 4 in a 113-104 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

After a disappointing 2016-17 season for the team, Grizzlies management brought in longtime Heat assistant coach David Fizdale. Conley responded with the best season of his career. The veteran averaged 20.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game for the Grizzlies, his first time averaging more than 20 points across an entire NBA season. He recorded a total of eight double doubles, the first of which was a 24-point, 11-assist showing in a victory over Washington on Oct. 30. Less than a week later against the Clippers, Conley scored 30 points and assisted 10 times in 37 minutes of play. Perhaps Conley's best showing of the season came on Jan. 30 against Phoenix -- a 38-point, nine-assist and six-rebound performance. The Grizzlies made it back to the playoffs for the seventh straight season in 2017, ultimately falling to the Spurs in Round 1. Conley averaged a whopping 24.7 points and seven assists over the six-game series.

The winds of change were spreading throughout Memphis in 2015-16. It would be head coach Dave Joerger's last year with the team, which won 42 games and snuck into the NBA playoffs as a seventh seed. Conley had another solid season, averaging 15.3 points and 6.1 assists per game in 56 contests. He started the season on a tear, scoring 22 points and dishing out eight assists in an Oct. 31 game against Brooklyn. On Dec. 14 against Washington, Conley scored 18 points and added 11 assists in a 17-point Grizzlies win, one of the four double-doubles he brought in that season. In March, Conley suffered the first significant injury of his career, and he missed the rest of the season with a combination of left foot soreness and Achilles tendinitis. The Grizzlies would make it back to the playoffs for a sixth straight year before falling to the San Antonio Spurs in a quick four-game series.

The 2014-15 Grizzlies won 55 games, making it back to the Conference Semifinals after a one year absence. Conley again was key that season, continuing to lead Memphis as their starting point guard. In a Nov. 5 win over Phoenix, he scored 24 points and added 11 assists, his first double double of the season. On Dec. 13 against Philadelphia, Conley erupted for a career-high 36 points, to go along with nine assists and three rebounds, helping the Grizzlies win by five. He kept leading by example, generating 30 points and six assists in a Dec. 30 win over San Antonio. The Grizzlies made it to the NBA Playoffs for the fifth straight season that year, and Conley averaged 14.4 points and 5.0 assists through eight starts in the postseason. He caught a tough break in the middle of that stretch, missing the last two games of Round 1 and the first game of Round 2 while recovering from a facial fracture. Conley returned and scored in double digits in each game he played against the Warriors, but the Grizzlies were ultimately eliminated in Game 6.

Conley had the best season of his career in 2013-14 with the "Grit and Grind" Grizzlies. Memphis won 50 games and Conley averaged 17.2 points and 6.0 assists per contest.

In the playoffs, Memphis faced off against the Oklahoma City Thunder, losing in a hotly-contested, seven-game series. Conley averaged 15.9 points and 7.9 assists per postseason contest, including an epic 19-point, 12-assist and seven-rebound performance in the Game 2, which resulted in a six-point win for Memphis. He had two 20-point performances in the series, including a 20-point, nine-assist, five-rebound, four-steal effort during the Game 7 loss.

The 2012-13 season was a great one for Conley and the Grizzlies. Memphis finished with a 56-26 record -- winning the most regular season games in franchise history -- and made it all the way to the Conference Finals, ultimately falling to the Spurs. Conley continued his ascendance that season, averaging 14.6 points, 6.1 assists and 1.3 three-pointers per game. He recorded seven double-doubles that season, none more impressive than an 18-point, 12-assist, four-steal performance Dec. 1 against San Antonio. On Jan. 2, his 23 points and nine assists helped the Grizzlies take down Boston. Games like that became more and more commonplace.

Conley and the Grizzlies made the most of a lockout-shortened 2011-12 season -- finishing fourth in the Western Conference with a 41-25 record. The young point guard was key to that record, averaging 12.7 points and 6.5 assists per game over 62 contests. Conley came out of the gate firing. In his seventh game of the season, Conley recorded his first double-double of the season via a 15-point, 10-assist showing against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Jan. 10.

In Game 4 of the series, Conley posted a career-playoff-high 25 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and a steal.

For the 2010-11 season, Memphis was led by a new core of Conley, Marc Gasol and Zac Randolph. They were ready to embrace the "Grit and Grind" mantra of head coach Lionel Hollins. The result was an appearance in the NBA Playoffs for the first time in five years and a run to the Western Conference Semifinals. Conley had a great season. He opened the season with 23 points and eight assists in a season opening loss to the Hawks on Oct. 27. On Oct. 30, Conley put together his first double double of the season, scoring 14 points and adding 11 assists in a 20-point win over Minnesota.

Conley was terrific as the Grizzlies made it all the way to Round 2 of the NBA Playoffs. The point guard averaged over 15 points and six assists in 13 post-season games.

Conley entered the 2009-10 season as the unquestioned starting point guard for an emerging Grizzlies team. He responded with his best statistical season of his first three years in The Association. Starting all 80 games he played, Conley averaged 12.0 points and 5.3 assists per game, both career highs at that point. He recorded a double-double in the season's second game, an Oct. 30 matchup against Toronto that saw Conley score 10 points while dishing out 10 dimes. Conley was spectacular against Oklahoma City on Dec. 11, going off for 20 points and eight assists, as well as five steals in almost 40 minutes.

He averaged 17.1 points and 5.7 assists while shooting 48.6 percent from the field during that stretch.

Conley's sophomore season saw him play in all 82 games for Memphis, making 61 starts along the way and improving on his rookie stats across the board. He posted 10.9 points, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Impressively, Conley made 40.6 percent of his three-point shots, a significant improvement over the prior campaign and the 32nd-best mark in the league. He also lifted his free-throw percentage to a strong 81.7 mark. Though he started the campaign in a timeshare at point guard with fellow rising star Kyle Lowry, Conley remained productive throughout. On Nov. 22 against Utah, he went off for 14 points and eight assists. He was even better against Chicago on Dec. 12, scoring nine points but dishing out 10 assists.

In just his third NBA game, Nov. 10 against Utah, Conley approached a double-double with 10 points and nine assists off the bench. Injuries ended up keeping Conley out of the lineup for much of November and December, but he enjoyed much better health and increased playing time after the new year. On Jan. 15 against Cleveland, Conley recorded his first career 20-point game, adding seven assists and two steals. Less than a week later, Jan. 21 against the Bulls, Conley posted his first career double-double with 10 points and 10 assists.
