PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Memphis guard Mike Conley left Saturday night’s Game 3 of the opening-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers with a facial injury.

Conley, who had 14 points, went down on the court after he appeared to be caught by Portland’s CJ McCollum’s elbow while going for a loose ball.

Conley stayed on his hands and knees for several moments before heading to the locker room with a towel to his face.

The Grizzlies were playing without reserve guard Beno Udrih, who was a late scratch with a sprained right ankle.
