• Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Goes through shootaround Friday

  4H ago • By RotoWire

  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 (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.

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

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
