Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Feeling ill, iffy for Monday
The Memphis Grizzlies list Desmond Bane as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.Bane didn't appear on the Grizzlies' initial injury report released Sunday, so the illness is likely something that cropped up overnight. He'll presumably rest up throughout the day before the Grizzlies check back in on how he's feeling and provide an update on his status closer to the 8 p.m. ET tipoff. If Bane can't go Monday, the Grizzlies would have more minutes available on the wing for the likes of Jaylen Wells, Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Goes for 21 points Friday
Desmond Bane ended Friday's 135-119 win over the Nets with 21 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes.Bane returned from a one-game absence Friday, and even though Ja Morant was the one who carried the team on offense, Bane certainly made his presence felt. He reached the 20-point mark for the first time since a Nov. 20 win over the 76ers, and he extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to five games. Bane remains a regular starter for the Memphis Grizzlies when healthy, and while that role is enough to make him relevant, it's not a secret that his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction. He's averaging 14.8 points per game, representing his lowest mark -- by a sizable margin -- since his rookie year. He's also shooting a career-worst 32.4 percent from three-point range.
