Hands out nine helpers in victory Bane contributed 24 points (8-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 victory over Utah.

Impact Bane assumed more of a facilitation role Sunday, filling some of the void left by a thigh injury to Ja Morant. Not only were the nine assists a season-high for Bane, but the 24 points are also the highest he has scored since returning from a lengthy injury layoff. The Grizzlies play again on Monday, and while Bane appears to be fully healthy, he could very well be given the night off as part of his management plan.

Off injury report Bane (toe) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Impact After a one-game absence for right toe injury management, Bane will return. Since initially returning from the injury, he's averaged 15.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.3 minutes across six games. He's shot just 36.0 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from deep during this stretch.

Won't play Thursday Bane has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic due to right toe injury management.

Impact Bane recorded a double-double during Wednesday's win over the Hornets, posting 19 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and a steal in 26 minutes, but he'll be sidelined for the second time in the last three games. Tyus Jones and John Konchar will likely see increased run in the Grizzlies' backcourt.

Double-double in return Bane racked up 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 131-107 victory over Charlotte.

Impact After sitting out the second game of a back-to-back New Year's Day as a precaution, Bane was back in the starting five and recorded his first double-double of the season. The toe injury that cost him 17 games at the end of 2022 doesn't appear to be an issue any longer, and after needing a couple contests to shake off the rust, he's averaging 17.7 points, 7.7 boards, 2.7 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals over his last three games.

Returns to starting lineup Bane will start Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact Bane will return to the starting lineup following a one-game absence due to right big toe injury management. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 14.8 points while shooting just 32.9 percent from the field.

Not listed on injury report Bane isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's matchup against the Hornets.

Impact Bane was sidelined for Sunday's game against the Kings while resting a right big toe injury, which cost him over a month of action earlier in the year. However, the third-year wing will be back in the mix Wednesday following his one-game absence. Before resting Sunday, Bane had averaged 14.8 points on 32.9 percent shooting over his previous five appearances, so fantasy managers should be hopeful the night off will help him break out of his shooting slump.

Won't play Sunday Bane will miss Sunday's game versus the Kings due to injury management of his right big toe.

Impact Bane has appeared in five straight contests since returning from his big toe injury, but it appears he'll give the injury a rest on the second night of a back-to-back set. Bane figures to be back in the lineup Wednesday against the Hornets.
