Mike Conley is heading to Utah.

The former Ohio State guard will be traded from Memphis – where he's played his entire 12-season NBA career – to the Utah Jazz, according to multiple reports, first reported by Stadium's Shams Charania.

In return for Conley, Memphis will receive Grayson Allen, Kyle Korver, Jae Crowder, the 23rd pick in Thursday's NBA draft and a future first-round pick, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The move comes as the Grizzlies are expected to select Murray State guard Ja Morant with the No. 2 overall pick in Thursday's NBA draft.

In 12 seasons with the Grizzlies, Conley has averaged 14.9 points, 5.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. The 31-year-old former Buckeye is coming off a career-high 21.1 points per game last season.

The trade is expected to become official on July 6, when the league's moratorium on trades and free-agent signings ends.
