  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Racks up career-high 16 dimes

    Bane finished with 26 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, 16 assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers. Bane was Memphis' leading scorer and drained four triples in the loss, but his most impactful contribution came as a passer. The talented guard set a career high with 16 assists, marking his first time reaching double digits in that category over five contests since returning from a 29-game absence March 16. Bane has two other double-digit assist performances this season and is averaging a career-high 5.5 dimes per contest on the campaign.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Modest performance in loss

    Bane amassed 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 128-103 loss to Denver. Bane was back in the starting lineup Monday, producing nothing more than a serviceable fantasy line. While it is good to see him back on the floor, it is clear the Grizzlies are not going to roll him out there on a nightly basis. Given the uncertainty regarding his availability, he is a tough player to hold for more than one game at a time.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Returning Monday

    Bane (back) will play and is in the starting lineup Monday night against the Nuggets. Bane sat out Saturday's matchup due to back soreness, but he's been given the green light for Monday. He's appeared in only three games since Jan. 12, averaging 17.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals over that brief stretch.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Questionable for Monday

    Bane (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets. Bane continues to deal with back soreness, but it's encouraging that he's deemed questionable rather than doubtful on the initial injury report. If he's sidelined again Monday, Scotty Pippen and DeJon Jarreau are candidates to see increased run.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Officially out

    Bane (back) won't play Friday against the Spurs. Bane was listed as doubtful on the injury report due to a sore back, and the Grizzlies will shut him down for Friday's matchup. Look for Scotty Pippen and DeJon Jarreau to see upticks in playing time in the backcourt as a result.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Doubtful for Friday

    Bane is doubtful to play against the Spurs on Friday due to a sore back. With Bane likely to be watching from the sidelines Friday evening and Scotty Pippen (shin) questionable, DeJon Jarreau and Jordan Goodwin could be asked to play big minutes. Check back for official confirmation on Bane's status closer to Friday's tip.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Stuffs stat sheet Monday

    Bane posted 24 points (7-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 121-111 overtime loss to the Kings. It's been only two games since he returned to action, but Bane has made his presence felt on both ends of the court. Even though Memphis' season has gone down the drain, Bane is expected to play a strong role -- while being a solid fantasy option -- for as long as he remains available.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Scores 22 points in return

    Bane (ankle) posted 22 points (7-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one block across 32 minutes during Saturday's 118-112 loss to the Thunder. Bane made his first appearance since Jan. 12 after missing each of the Grizzlies' last 29 games due to a Grade 3 left ankle sprain. Though his shooting was erratic in his return, Bane didn't seem to be operating under a major minutes restriction and also took on some playmaking responsibilities for a Grizzlies squad operating without multiple point guards. Due to Memphis' status as a non-contender, Bane could be subject to periodic rest days over the team's remaining games, though he should see ample usage whenever he's cleared to play on a given day.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Will start Saturday

    Bane (ankle) will start Saturday's game against the Thunder, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports. Bane has been sidelined for the past couple months, so it's not a surprise that coach Taylor Jenkins said that the Grizzlies will be mindful of his usage and minutes right out of the gate. Based on how the Grizzlies have handled their injuries and rotations, it's reasonable to expect some maintenance days for Bane during the final stretch.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Deemed questionable for Saturday

    Bane (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder. Bane is nearing a return from a two-month absence due to a left ankle sprain. If he's cleared to suit up for the first time since Jan. 12, Bane would likely be limited but may still get a look with the first unit.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Officially ruled out

    Bane (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets. Bane's absence shouldn't come as a surprise after he practiced with the Grizzlies' G League affiliate Wednesday. However, he seems to be inching toward a return after spending the last two months on the sidelines with an ankle sprain. Bane's next chance to suit up comes Saturday against Oklahoma City.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Practicing, likely out Wednesday

    The Grizzlies assigned Bane (ankle) to the G League's Memphis Hustle to participate in practice Wednesday. Bane will be recalled immediately after the session, but he's expected to miss his 29th straight game Wednesday against the Hornets due to a left ankle sprain. However, the 25-year-old guard's participation in practice is a good sign that he's nearing a return, as is the fact that the Grizzlies are listing him as doubtful for Wednesday's contest rather than out.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Nearing return

    Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that Bane (ankle) is nearing a return to action, Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. "Bane's working really hard, so I envision in a couple games here, he's back in the lineup," Jenkins said. Bane has been out of the lineup since Jan. 12, and the Grizzlies are likely to take a cautious approach with him given their standing as a non-contender. He's officially listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hornets rather than being ruled out directly for the contest, which further supports the notion that he's nearing a return. While he likely won't play Wednesday, fantasy managers can consider Bane as questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Likely out until mid-to-late March

    The Grizzlies announced Thursday that Bane is progressing well and was recently re-evaluated, and he's expected to return to play within the next 3-to-5 weeks. Bane hasn't played since suffering a Grade 3 left ankle sprain Jan. 12, and though some reports in recent weeks offered hope that he might be back shortly before the All-Star break, he'll end up missing more than two months with the injury. A multi-month recovery timeline isn't out of the ordinary for a Grade 3 sprain, and considering that the 20-36 Grizzlies aren't shaping up as playoff contenders, they're unlikely to take any chances with a prized asset like Bane until the team is confident that he's 100 percent healthy. If Bane is out until the latter half of March or early April as expected, fantasy managers in redraft leagues with no or limited injured reserve spots likely can't justify holding him. With Ja Morant (shoulder) out for the season and with Bane and Marcus Smart (finger) likely out for several more weeks, the Grizzlies will turn to Jaren Jackson (quadricep), Vince Williams, Luke Kennard, Jordan Goodwin and Santi Aldama to serve as their primary playmakers on offense.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Making progress, but timeline TBD

    Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman said Friday that Bane (ankle) is progressing through the initial stages of his rehab and will be re-evaluated at some point after the All-Star break, Michael Wallace of the team's official site reports. "We'll be smart," Kleiman said when asked if Bane could return at some point this season. "We're going to make sure [Bane and Marcus Smart] are in position to be fully healthy [before playing]." Bane hasn't played since Jan. 12, when he sustained what was reported as a Grade 3 left ankle sprain in the Grizzlies' loss to the Clippers. Though a Grade 3 sprain typically entails a multi-month recovery and often requires surgery, Bane seems to be coming along far more rapidly in his rehab process than initially anticipated. Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins confirmed earlier this month that Bane was able to resume individual work in practice, and a formal update regarding when the fourth-year guard might be ready to mix into drills with his healthy teammates could come shortly after he's re-evaluated. At this stage, however, Bane remains without a formal timeline for a return to game action, though Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal relays that Bane is closer to playing than Smart, who has been out since Jan. 9 with a right ring finger central slip tear. Given that the 20-36 Grizzlies aren't shaping up as playoff contenders, the team likely won't look to rush Bane back until they're confident he's 100 percent healthy. Fantasy managers should expect Bane to miss the Grizzlies' remaining three games of February, at a minimum.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Resumes individual work

    Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins confirmed last Wednesday that Bane (ankle) resumed taking part in individual work at practice, but the 25-year-old is still on track to be re-evaluated following the All-Star break at the six-week mark of his recovery timeline, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. "He's kind of doing small movement shooting right now," Jenkins said of Bane. "He's keeping everything contained, but he's been working his tail off in medical spaces. He's hungry to get back and beat the timelines that are out there." Bane was diagnosed with a Grade 3 left ankle sprain after suffering the injury in a Jan. 12 loss to the Clippers. Though he's not scheduled to be re-evaluated Feb. 25, Bane seems to be making remarkable progress in his recovery from the severe injury. He shed the walking boot on his ankle less than two weeks after suffering the injury, and he already seems to be steadily ramping up again in on-court workouts. Even though Bane is angling to return to the court before his six-week re-evaluation timeline, the Grizzlies likely aren't ready to rush the sharpshooter back into game action until he's 100 percent healthy. Bane still looks as though he'll avoid being shut down for the season, but he could be subject to a minutes restriction whenever he returns, and he may sit out some games during particularly busy portions of Memphis' post-break schedule.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Out at least six weeks

    The Grizzlies announced Sunday that Bane has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in six weeks. Bane suffered his ankle injury in the third quarter of Friday's loss to the Clippers and is facing a multi-week absence. Bane was in the midst of one of the best years of his career, averaging 24.4 points, 5.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 34.5 minutes per game over 37 appearances. Vince Williams, Ziaire Williams and John Konchar are candidates to see increased playing time while Bane is out.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Won't play Monday

    Bane (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors. Bane sustained a left ankle sprain Friday against the Clippers and will be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup. David Roddy and Xavier Tillman saw increased run Saturday against the Knicks and will likely see an uptick in playing time once again Monday. Whether Bane is available Thursday against Minnesota remains to be seen.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Ruled out against Knicks

    Bane (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Knicks. Bane will miss Saturday's contest after spraining his left ankle against the Clippers on Friday. David Roddy, Vince Williams and Ziaire Williams will likely receive increased minutes in his absence. Bane's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Golden State.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Sprains ankle Friday

    Bane left Friday's game against the Clippers with a left ankle sprain and won't return. He finished with 15 points (3-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal in 23 minutes. Bane turned his ankle badly and wasn't able to shoot his free throws after suffering the injury, making him ineligible to return to the game. Memphis' injury list continues to grow, with Bane now joining the likes of Ja Morant (shoulder), Steven Adams (knee), Marcus Smart (finger), Brandon Clarke (Achilles), Derrick Rose (thigh) and Santi Aldama (knee). Bane appears unlikely to be available for the second leg of the back-to-back set Saturday against the Knicks, so the Grizzlies could turn to Luke Kennard and/or Jacob Gilyard to serve as their main initiator on offense.
