Jordan Clarkson Reveals Utah’s Hilarious Locker Room Bet Regarding Mike Conley’s Athleticism 

Last night’s game between the Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies ended in a Jazz victory thanks to Mike Conley winning a jump ball against Ja Morant.

Conley, who isn’t known for his jumping abilities, surprised his teammates with his athleticism, especially Jordan Clarkson, who’s been poking fun at Conley’s lack of athleticism all season long.

The Jazz apparently already made a bet about Conley’s inability to dunk, whereas the bet should have been if he could win a jump ball. That’s what Clarkson told Eric Walden of the Salt Lake Tribune:

“Ha! Mike got bounce! There’s a rolling bet in the locker room on whether he’ll dunk. We should’ve had a bet on if he could win a jump ball. He wears Jordans—they only sign guys who dunk.”
