The two Utah Jazz veterans went through a full practice Monday after being out of action with knee and finger injuries, respectively, since mid-November.
Conley praised the progress that Sexton has made, noting the significant difference in his patience and court recognition from the first couple games he was out to the last few. But he also pointed out that there have been “a lot of lessons learned during this period,” and that the “young guys have had to grow up in a lot of different aspects of the game.”
Though his scoring is down this season, Conley is averaging a career-high 7.9 assists and a career-low-tying 1.5 turnovers, while shooting 38.6% from 3-point range. “I kind of get in helpless mode. I tell the guys all the time, I get real fidgety and start playing with my hands and get anxious,” Conley said. “I see things in real time, but I can’t tell Collin to dribble to the basket, or Nickeil to dribble to the basket, or to look to the corner. So I just sit there, and I know something might happen — good or bad — and I have no control over it. That makes me want to get back even quicker.
He said Monday that the injury was feeling better, but that it required time to reduce some inflammation, and noted that it would still be present somewhat after he returns, and that he’ll just have to play through it to some degree.
