Tue Apr 1509:07Desmond Bane Ready For Play-In Action
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (adductor) is on track to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, as the team has not included him on the injury report. Bane saw a run of 21 consecutive appearances come to an end on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks when he was ruled out for the game due to left adductor soreness. In other words, Bane was rested for the regular-season finale to keep him fresher for the Play-In Tournament. Recently, Bane has found his scoring touch, averaging 27.3 points over his past four appearances. However, the Warriors held him to 18.5 points per game over four regular-season meetings.

Sun Mar 219:25Desmond Bane Ready To Go On Monday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Bane appears to be good to go after sitting out Saturday's game due to a hip issue. He could be asked to take on a heavier workload with Ja Morant (shoulder) uncertain for Monday's contest. Regardless, Bane is a must-start in fantasy formats and has scored 20 points or more in six of his last eight games.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (groin) has shaken off a questionable tag and will play in Friday's contest against the New York Knicks. A sore left groin initially left Bane iffy for the game. Last time out against the Phoenix Suns, Bane bounced back from a couple of rough outings with a 25-point effort. He has tallied 20-plus points six times in eight appearances this month while registering 6.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists.

Sat Feb 819:20Desmond Bane Returns To Action Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (ankle) will return to action on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team has him back in the lineup after a left ankle sprain kept Bane sidelined for two games. Bane upped his scoring numbers to 20.9 points per game last month and also started February well, posting 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting in a 132-119 win over the Milwaukee Bucks last Sunday. With Bane back in the fold, Luke Kennard's fantasy stock takes a hit, as he will likely head back to the bench.

Wed Feb 508:21Desmond Bane To "Miss A Little Time"
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (ankle) is forced to miss multiple games. The 26-year-old hurt his left ankle on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks and will sit out a second straight game on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins has said that Bane will "miss a little time" because of the injury. Bane's injury has given Luke Kennard an opportunity to start, but he struggled in Monday's win over the San Antonio Spurs, missing all three attempts from deep and finishing with six points. Kennard may not receive many more chances, as Marcus Smart (finger) and Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) are nearing their return to the lineup.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forwardDesmond Bane(ankle) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Bane is sitting due to soreness in his left ankle. The injury occurred with just a few minutes left in Sunday's win over the Bucks. Memphis is likely cautiously considering the 26-year-old ankle since they are in the second half of back-to-back games. While Bane is on the shelf and Ja Morant(shoulder) is listed as questionable for the contest, Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia could see expanded roles this evening.

Thu Jan 919:22Desmond Bane Active Against Rockets
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (ankle) will rejoin the action on Thursday against Houston. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Bane scored at least 22 points in four straight contests before an ankle sprain knocked him out of the lineup for Monday's tilt against Dallas. Luckily for the Grizzlies, Bane will be able to return to the lineup after missing just one game. Memphis also has Ja Morant (shoulder) back on Thursday, so Houston's top-class defense faces a big challenge. The two combined for 41 points in this season's first clash with the Rockets.

Thu Jan 909:28Desmond Bane Might Miss Another Game With An Ankle Issue
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (ankle) carries a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's contest against Houston.

All three players have performed well recently, although Wells has struggled with consistency. Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) might also drop out of the lineup on Thursday, opening up even more minutes in the rotation.

Mon Jan 619:30Desmond Bane Downgraded To Out Against Dallas
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) was considered doubtful coming into Monday and was ruled out, as expected, before the Grizzlies hosted the Mavericks. Without Bane, Ja Morant (shoulder), Marcus Smart (finger), and Scotty Pippen Jr. will get all the usage they can handle in the backcourt, although Luke Kennard (hamstring) is now available after being upgraded from out to questionable in the middle of the day on Monday. Jaylen Wells and Cam Spencer will also be more involved in the backcourt against Dallas with Bane unavailable.

Mon Dec 23 202419:25Desmond Bane Good To Go Monday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (illness) has been cleared to face the Clippers on Monday night. He landed late on the injury report with an illness, but the team has upgraded Bane from questionable to available. Bane has not been the best version of himself this season, settling for 14.9 points in 28.0 minutes. The Clippers have a top-six defense in the league, so it might be another quiet night offensively for Bane on Monday.

Mon Dec 23 202415:25Desmond Bane Tagged As Questionable Against Clippers
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (illness) is considered questionable for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to an illness. The 26-year-old picked up the illness after their last game on Saturday when he played 27 minutes in the win over the Atlanta Hawks. If he's unable to play, Scottie Pippen Jr. and Jaylen Wells should see a usage increase since Ja Morant is not on the injury report for this game. Pippen finished with 22 points, nine assists, five rebounds, and two steals in their last matchup, and has been the more consistent fantasy option.

Sun Dec 8 202418:27Desmond Bane Unavailable Versus Wizards
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (toe) will not play on Sunday against Washington. A sore toe will end a spell of 12 consecutive appearances for Bane, who's had a quiet campaign in 2024-25. Ja Morant (back) also won't play on Sunday, allowing players like Scotty Pippen Jr., Marcus Smart, and Jaylen Wells to step into larger roles. Memphis' reserves should do plenty of damage against a team that shares the league's worst defensive record, allowing 123.0 points per game on average.

Sun Dec 8 202414:16Desmond Bane Could Sit Out On Sunday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (toe) is currently considered as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. Both Bane and fellow guard Ja Morant (back) land on the injury report after playing in Saturday's game. Possibly, the Grizzlies are trying to be cautious here given both players have been banged up recently. Bane looked fine on Saturday as he finished with 14 points and three steals across 32 minutes of action. If he sits, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Marcus Smart would see increased roles. Smart has been the more consistent option between the two, but Pippen has shown flashes of potential when Morant was out earlier in the season.

Sat Nov 2 202423:48Desmond Bane Diagnosed With An Oblique Strain
Memphis Grizzlies forward Desmond Bane (oblique) was diagnosed with a right oblique strain. He is considered "week-to-week." The 26-year-old has averaged 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting 40.6% from behind the arc this season. Of course, this is a tough blow for the Grizzlies, although it is magnified, considering Bane hasn't played more than 58 games in each of the last two seasons. With Marcus Smart (ankle) sidelined as well moving forward, the team will turn to Jaylen Wells and Santi Aldama to fill the void, with the duo combining for 25 points and 18 rebounds in Saturday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Fantasy managers can look in their direction while Bane and Smart are on the shelf. The same can be said for Scotty Pippen Jr., who had 12 points and 13 assists off the bench on Saturday.

Fri Nov 1 202417:30Desmond Bane Won't Face The 76ers
Memphis Grizzlies forward Desmond Bane (oblique) won't play on Saturday against the 76ers. Bane suffered an oblique strain in Wednesday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets and didn't play on Thursday versus the visiting Bucks. Marcus Smart (ankle) was also sidelined for that one, opening the door for Jaylen Wells and Santi Aldama to enter the starting lineup and finish the night by combining for 35 points. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jake LaRavia also received more work from off the bench, with the duo combining for 27 points. As long as Smart and Bane remain on the shelf, Aldama, LaRavia, Pippen, and Wells are all worth considering for fantasy lineups. Of course, Ja Morant, who had a triple-double on Thursday, will likely continue to lead the way offensively.

The 26-year-old has shot an impressive 40.6 percent from deep through the first few games of the season to average 18.8 points with 5.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists. Memphis also lost Marcus Smart (ankle) on Wednesday, meaning it's again time for fantasy managers to put their trust in Jake LaRavia and Scotty Pippen Jr. The two performed well last season when the Grizzlies were troubled by injuries. Rookie Jaylen Wells is also a player to keep an eye on.

Tue Apr 9 202409:26Desmond Bane Remains Unavailable Tuesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (back) will be absent for a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday versus the Spurs. He's dealing with a lumbar disc bulge, leaving the keys to the backcourt to Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jordan Goodwin. Both players have been good fantasy producers lately, and Pippen Jr. is fresh off a career night. The 23-year-old totaled 24 points, five assists, and two steals in 30 minutes against Philadelphia on Sunday. Bane's injury also means more shooting opportunities for GG Jackson II.

Thu Apr 4 202422:32Desmond Bane Out Versus Detroit Friday
Memphis Grizzlies forward/guard Desmond Bane (back) will miss Friday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. Bane is still dealing with his lingering back soreness that limited his comeback run in mid-March. The Grizzlies will see Bane missing his fourth consecutive game and his 34th of the last 39 games. Memphis' season having little consequence could see Bane sitting out the last few games, but the team has not confirmed that yet. Jordan Goodwin, and Scotty Pippen Jr. have all had major minute increases recently without Bane in the lineup to boost their respective fantasy values.

Tue Apr 2 202421:03Desmond Bane Ruled Out Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (back) is ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bane will miss his third consecutive game due to back soreness continuing to bother him. Memphis' season is over when it comes to the playoff race, but they brought back Bane from his previous ankle injury in mid-March after missing over two months. Bane averaged 18.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 2.8 three-pointers per game in five games before the back pain became a problem. Grizzlies' management may consider shutting him down as the disappointing season reaches an end. Luke Kennard, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Jordan Goodwin are the leading names to benefit from more playing time in any games that Bane sits out.
