  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Not playing Sunday

    Bane (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    Bane will miss his first game since Nov. 13 due to left toe soreness. The 26-year-old will join Ja Morant (back) on the sideline, meaning the Grizzlies will likely afford extended run to Scotty Pippen, John Konchar and Jaylen Wells. Bane's next chance to play will come Friday against the Nets.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Questionable for Sunday

    Bane is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards due to left toe soreness.

    Bane and Ja Morant (back) both land on the injury report for the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set after playing Saturday. Bane posted 14 points, four assists, two rebounds and three steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's win over Boston.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Will play vs. Boston

    Bane (toe) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    Bane was initially listed as questionable due to a toe injury, but the star guard will get the nod Saturday and should handle his regular workload. This will be Bane's 11th straight start. He's averaging 12.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in the previous 10.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Questionable Saturday vs. Celtics

    Bane (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Boston.

    Bane's status for Saturday's game may not be known until the Grizzlies go through pregame warmups. If Bane is unable to play, Scotty Pippen or Marcus Smart (ankle) could be inserted into the starting lineup alongside Ja Morant and Jaylen Wells. Bane has averaged 17.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.0 steals over 31.0 minutes per game in his last three outings.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Scores team-high 18 points

    Bane supplied 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 win over the Kings.

    Bane has been trending in the right direction in recent games, and it seems the shooting woes plaguing him in late November are a thing of the past now. He's surpassed the 15-point mark in his last three appearances in December, averaging 17.7 points per game and shooting 53.8 percent from the floor in that span.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Shooting woes continue

    Bane ended Friday's 120-109 victory over the Pelicans with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes.

    Bane continues to struggle on the offensive end, having shot a combined 10-of-36 from the field over the past four games. An injury after just five games certainly slowed his momentum following a solid start to the season. However, he has now suited up eight times since returning, making his shooting slump a little more baffling. Based on what we have seen from Bane in the past, he should be able to find a way to rectify the situation, starting with what should be an uptempo contest against the Pacers on Sunday.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Fills stat sheet Wednesday

    Bane closed with 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers.

    Jaren Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring with his 25-point effort, but Bane led the team in rebounds and assists while also surpassing the 20-point mark. Bane has looked very good after missing seven straight games due to a strained right oblique, and he's averaging 13.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in his four appearances since returning to the hardwood.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Comes close to triple-double

    Bane recorded 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over the Nuggets.

    Bane didn't have his best shooting performance, but the veteran guard found a way to make an impact in other areas and finished just three assists away from a triple-double. He should continue to see an uptick in his usage rate with Ja Morant (hip) sidelined, even if his scoring numbers do not reflect it much. The perfect example of that uptick is that Bane's 11 rebounds and seven assists were both season-high marks for the five-year veteran.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Moving back into starting lineup

    Bane will start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    Bane made his return Friday following a seven-game absence due to an oblique injury, but he operated off the bench, recording 18 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during a loss to Golden State. Santi Aldama will shift to the bench as a corresponding move.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Pops for 18 in return

    Bane (oblique) supplied 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench during Friday's 123-118 loss to the Warriors.

    The fifth-year wing was expected to be on a minutes restriction in his first game action since Oct. 30, but Bane seemed close to full strength in his return from an oblique strain, playing most of the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies tried to mount a late comeback. He could rejoin the starting five and clear 30 minutes as soon as Sunday's home clash with the Nuggets.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Returning Friday

    Bane (oblique) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors.

In the four games prior to his injury, Bane averaged 21.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals over 28.8 minutes per contest.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Goes through shootaround Friday

    Bane (oblique), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors, was active during the Grizzlies' shootaround, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    Bane was upgraded to questionable following a seven-game absence, and his status suggests he is nearing a return to game action. The sharpshooter will likely remain a game-time decision after going through warmups, and if he suits up, he will likely be under a minute restriction in his return. If Bane is unable to play, Santi Aldama is expected to draw the start at small forward once again.

    Bane's questionable tag suggests he is progressing toward a return to game action after being deemed week-to-week in early November due to a right oblique strain. The sharpshooter is in jeopardy of missing his eighth straight contest, and if he is unable to suit up, Santi Aldama is expected to draw the start at small forward once again.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Ruled out vs. Lakers

    Bane (oblique) is out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

    Bane is in line to miss a seventh straight contest, and there's no clarity on when he'll return to the hardwood. Bane was deemed week-to-week in early November, and there haven't been any signs of progression in his recovery, so it's uncertain when the forward will be able to return. Santi Aldama should remain in the starting lineup while Bane is out. His next chance to play will come against the Warriors on Friday.

    Bane was deemed week-to-week in early November, and there haven't been any signs of progression in his recovery, so it's uncertain when the forward will be able to return. Bane's next chance to play will come against the Lakers on Wednesday, and Santi Aldama is expected to remain in the lineup while Bane is sidelined.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Deemed week-to-week

    Bane, who has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the 76ers, sustained an oblique strain in the third quarter of Wednesday's contest against the Nets and will be considered week-to-week moving forward.

    This is a huge blow to a thin backcourt as the sharpshooter and Marcus Smart (ankle) will join Cam Spencer (ankle) and Vince Williams (lower leg) on the sidelines for an extended period of time. In five regular-season outings thus far, Bane has averaged 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 combined steals-plus-blocks across 26.4 minutes per game while shooting 40.6 percent from downtown. In a depleted backcourt, Scotty Pippen, Jaylen Wells and Yuki Kawamura are all candidates for an increased role.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Remains sidelined Saturday

    Bane (oblique) is out for Saturday's game versus the 76ers.

    Bane will miss his second straight contest Saturday while dealing with a right oblique strain. With Memphis dealing with multiple injuries to their backcourt, Jaylen Wells, Scotty Pippen and Yuki Kawamura should continue to receive increased playing time. Bane's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Brooklyn.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Ruled out Thursday

    Bane (oblique) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with Milwaukee.

    Bane put up 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and six rebounds over 17 minutes before leaving Wednesday's loss to the Nets for good. Bane is averaging 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks across 26.4 minutes, including a blistering 40.6 percent from three to start the season, so his presence will be missed against the Bucks. The team should know more about the severity of his injury after receiving his imaging results, per Jessica Benson of Bally Sports Southeast. With Bane and Marcus Smart (ankle) out, Memphis will likely turn to Jake LaRavia and Jaylen Wells.

    Bane will not return to Wednesday's game against Brooklyn due to an oblique injury.

    Bane and Marcus Smart (ankle) have both been ruled out for the remainder of the contest to continue what has been a parade of injuries for Memphis over the past 12 months. The Grizzlies close a back-to-back Thursday versus Milwaukee, and Bane's status will need to be monitored.
