Conley played 17.7 minutes against Cleveland on October 8, finishing with 3 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists in a win. He has not played since. The Celtics beat Philadelphia on October 10, Charlotte on October 14 and Philadelphia again on October 16, then lost to Detroit on October 20, and Conley did not record a minute in any of them. He was listed Day-To-Day for rest on October 16 and cleared the next day. Nothing on the report keeps him out now, so the zeros reflect coaching decisions, not health.
