Jazz guard Mike Conley leaves bubble for birth of son

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The Utah Jazz say guard Mike Conley has left Walt Disney World to return to Columbus, Ohio, for the birth of his son.

The sixth-seeded Jazz begin a first-round playoff series against No. 3 seed Denver on Monday.

Players who leave the bubble are subject to a quarantine upon their return, though the length can’t be determined until then.

Conley is averaging 14.4 points and 4.4 assists in his first season with Utah.
