Jazz PG Mike Conley's return cut short after injuring hamstring

Mike Conley's return to the Utah Jazz after a five-game absence was cut short when the point guard injured his left hamstring in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 109-102 victory over the Orlando Magic.

Conley, 32, missed the past two weeks with that same hamstring injury and made his return to the lineup Tuesday. He finished with 7 points and 6 assists in 19 minutes.

Utah acquired Conley in a trade with Memphis this summer in hopes the guard would help put them over the top. However, Conley has struggled to find a rhythm with his new team, averaging just 13.9 points and 4.6 assists on 37% shooting from the field.
