Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Upgraded to available
Bane (back) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Bane is dealing with a back issue, but that won't keep him off the floor Friday. The veteran guard is averaging 19.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season while shooting 48.6 percent from the floor and 39.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Late addition to report Friday
Bane is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers due to lower back soreness, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
The back soreness is a new concern for Bane, who was a late addition to the injury report for Friday's contest. If the sharpshooter is unable to face the Clippers, Jaylen Wells and Vince Williams will likely see an uptick in playing time. Bane has made 10 consecutive appearances for the Grizzlies, during which he has averaged 23.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.7 three-pointers and 1.2 steals across 34.5 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Leads team in disappointing loss
Bane had 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-99 loss to Portland.
The Grizzlies were without Ja Morant (hamstring), but his presence wouldn't have altered the outcome. Bane's numbers were below his usual averages, and he led a group struggling to find traction against the Trail Blazers. Bane and Jaren Jackson were the only starters to score in double-digits, and the team abandoned the first unit once the game got out of hand. Memphis will try to turn things around Friday against the Clippers.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Erupts for 44 points
Bane closed Monday's 132-122 loss to Sacramento with 44 points (15-25 FG, 7-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 41 minutes.
Bane scored a season-high 44 points in the loss, finishing five points shy of his career-high mark (49). He soaked up some additional usage due to Ja Morant (hamstring) and Santi Aldama (calf) being on the sidelines, and it's unclear if those two will be ready in time for Wednesday's game versus Portland. Bane is on pace to return third-round value in nine-category formats this season with 22.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.6 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Comes close to triple-double
Bane accumulated 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-91 win over the Heat.
The Grizzlies were without Ja Morant (shoulder) in this game, but that didn't prevent them from securing a huge win, and Bane played a pivotal role in the victory. Luke Kennard started in place of Morant, meaning Bane operated as the primary playmaker and finished just two assists away from a triple-double. Bane has been playing at a high level of late and is averaging 21.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists and a combined 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in eight outings this month.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Struggles with shot Friday
Bane posted 12 points (5-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 133-124 loss to the Cavaliers.
Ja Morant led the way for the Grizzlies with an outstanding 44-point effort, but Bane, who has found a way to step up on a regular basis in recent weeks, was unable to follow suit. The veteran forward had a rough showing on offense, and at least from an efficiency perspective, this was one of his worst outings of the campaign. Bane is still averaging a solid line of 20.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game since the beginning of March, so he should find a way to bounce back sooner than later -- possibly against the Heat on Saturday in the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Misses out on double-double
Bane totaled 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 victory over the Jazz.
Bane recorded a team-high nine assists during Wednesday's win. Bane's efficient shooting from beyond the arc is a welcome sight, as he is converting just 29.3 percent of his 5.8 three-point attempts per contest across his last 10 outings.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Extends impressive stretch
Bane closed with 30 points (13-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 107-104 victory over the Pelicans.
Bane was coming off a 27-point, 16-rebound effort in the win over the Mavericks on Friday, and he also notched a triple-double against the Hawks on Monday. Even though Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson (ankle) are the go-to options on offense for the Grizzlies, there's no doubt Bane is making the most of the expanded role he's having with Jackson sidelined. Bane has scored at least 24 points in five of his last six contests.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Fills stat sheet in win
Bane chipped in 27 points (11-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 16 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 122-111 win over the Mavericks.
Ja Morant led the way in scoring for the Grizzlies with a 31-point output, but Bane had the better fantasy line when looking at his all-around contributions. He ended with at least two tallies in each of the six major categories, including three-pointers made, and he made his presence on both ends of the court while also grabbing a season-high mark in rebounds. This was Bane's sixth double-double of the season, and that tendency to fill the stat sheet makes him a valuable asset across all formats. He's averaging 21.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists and a combined 2.1 steals-plus-blocks in eight outings since the All-Star break.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Scores 15 points
Bane accumulated 15 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 loss to the Thunder.
Bane was unable to build off his most recent performance, as he notched a 35-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in a loss vs. Atlanta on March 3, but at least he reached the 15-point mark once again. Bane is averaging 20.7 points, 6.9 boards and 5.9 assists per game since the end of the All-Star break.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Records triple-double in return
Bane (hip) finished with 35 points (9-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 10 rebounds and 10 assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 132-130 loss to the Hawks.
Monday marked the first triple-double of Bane's career, as he returned from a one-game absence and stepped up for the Grizzlies in the absence of star floor general Ja Morant (shoulder). Bane has seen an increase in usage and fantasy value during instances in which Morant is out, with the former averaging 24.2 points, 8.0 assists, 6.6 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers over his last 11 appearances when the latter has been unavailable. Look for Bane to handle a similar role if Morant can't play in Wednesday's showdown with the Thunder, especially if Jaren Jackson's ankle injury costs him additional time as well.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Appears past hip injury
Bane (hip) is not listed on the Grizzlies' injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Hawks.
Bane wasn't able to play during Saturday's loss to the Spurs due to left hip soreness. The injury doesn't appear severe enough to necessitate a second absence, and Bane should be available to play Monday barring any setbacks. He finished the month of February having averaged 20.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals over 35.3 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Out Saturday
Bane (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Bane and Ja Morant (shoulder) have both been downgraded to out for the second half of this back-to-back set, but Luke Kennard (back) will be available. Bane should return to action Monday versus Atlanta, while Kennard, Jaylen Wells, John Konchar and Scotty Pippen will handle increased roles Saturday.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Iffy against San Antonio
Bane is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to left hip soreness.
Bane is in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 5 due to left hip soreness. With Luke Kennard (back) and Vince Williams (knee) also deemed questionable, Memphis could be left shorthanded in the backcourt.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Double-doubles in defeat
Bane chipped in 24 points (9-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to New York.
Bane stuffed the stat sheet in the loss, posting his seventh double-double through 48 regular-season appearances. However, the sharpshooter struggled from beyond the arc, and over his last five outings, he has shot only 25.8 percent from downtown. The 26-year-old guard has averaged 19.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.2 steals across 36.4 minutes per contest in that five-game span.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Suiting up vs. New York
Bane (groin) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Bane was initially deemed questionable due to left groin soreness, but the issue won't prevent him from playing. Bane is averaging 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 35.4 minutes per game since the beginning of February.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Added to injury report
Bane (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Left groin soreness is a new issue for Bane, who hasn't sat out since the Feb. 5 win over the Raptors. The Grizzlies could have the star guard go through pregame warmups Friday before deciding on his status. If Bane cannot suit up against New York, Luke Kennard stands out as the most likely candidate to step into Memphis' starting lineup.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Hands out nine assists
Bane supplied 25 points (8-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 43 minutes during Tuesday's 151-148 overtime victory over the Suns.
This was Bane's fourth game of the campaign with at least nine dimes. He was coming off a dud with seven points against Cleveland on Sunday, but's been solid in eight February games for the most part. In that span, he put up averages of 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Poor shooting night Sunday
Bane provided seven points (2-13 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 129-123 loss to the Cavaliers.
It was poor night shooting the ball by Bane, but he was still able to fill the box score and dish out eight assists. Despite Sunday's hiccup, the star guard is still averaging 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 35.1 minutes over his last eight outings. Bane has hit the 20-point plateau in six of these contests, so he should be able to bounce back in the scoring department before long.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Balanced showing as top scorer
Bane finished with 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and two blocks over 33 minutes in Thursday's 127-113 loss to Indiana.
Bane led the way for Memphis in Thursday's contest, pacing all players in scoring, threes made and assists while recording a team-high-tying pair of blocks in a well-rounded performance. Bane has tallied at least 23 points in nine contests, and he has surpassed the 20-point mark in six consecutive outings. Defensively, Bane matched a season high in blocks, a mark he has now recorded on three occasions.
