NBA 2017-18: All-Injured Roster  

Starting Point Guard: Mike Conley

For a long time, Conley has been recognized as the best player never to be honored with a selection to the All-Star game. The 11th-year veteran has become the most important player on a Grizzlies franchise that is languishing right at the bottom of the NBA standings with an 18-49 record including an ongoing 18-game losing streak after getting off to a 7-4 start when Conley was still fit.

Conley went down with a season-ending Achilles injury on November 13th. With him faded away whatever chances the Grizzlies had of making the playoffs. 2 weeks after his injury, head coach David Fizdale was fired by the front office, and Memphis entered the list of franchises tanking hard this season.
