Bane tallied 19 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 114-109 preseason loss to the Heat.
Bane led the Grizzlies in assists Friday and co-led in scoring with Santi Aldama. Bane averaged a career-high 23.7 points per game in 2023-24, but he played only 42 regular-season games due to separate ankle and back injuries. The 2020 first-round pick will look to help lead the Grizzlies back to the NBA postseason alongside starters Ja Morant, Marcus Smart, Jaren Jackson (hamstring) and rookie center Zach Edey.
