• Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Fills stat sheet Wednesday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  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: Pops for 18 in return

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
