Conley’s return happens just in time for the Jazz, which faces a game-winning or homecoming 6 game in Los Angeles.
The Utah Jazz will finally take back their All-Star backyard when they need it most. The top-seeded Jazz announced Friday night that Mike Conley will be available against the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in Game 6 in Los Angeles (10 ET, ESPN).
Donovan Mitchell is also available after being considered suspect for right ankle soreness.

Conley’s comeback was particularly notable, as the veteran playmaker hasn’t played since Game 5 against Memphis (June 2) due to a strain in his right hamstring. The 33-year-old was instrumental in Utah’s first-round victory over the Grizzlies, scoring 20 points or better in games 1-3.
Meanwhile, Mitchell had a right ankle injury that visibly hampered him in Utah’s defeat in Game Five against the Clippers on Wednesday. The two-time All-Star shot only 6 for 19 from the field, unable to muster persistent explosive power to take on Paul George, who helped Los Angeles grab the 3-2 lead.
The Jazz team, with the best record in the NBA for the first time in franchise history, is seeking a berth in the World Cup Finals for the first time since 1998.
The Clippers are racing for their first trip to the conference finals, but they should do so without NBA star Kowhi Leonard, who missed Game 5 and would sit out Game 6 with a sprained right knee.
