Will suit up, not expected to play Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Bane (foot) will dress but likely won't play Sunday against the Celtics, Meghan Triplett of GrindCityMedia.com reports.

Impact It's unclear if the Grizzlies will issue an official update to Bane's status before tip, but for the time being it looks like he'll technically be on the active list, but Jenkins implied pregame neither Brandon Clarke nor Bane are likely to enter the game unless it's an emergency situation. Expect De'Anthony Melton, John Konchar and Ziaire Williams to benefit from Bane's expected absence.

Questionable for Sunday's contest Bane is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to left foot soreness.

Impact It wouldn't be surprising to see Bane ruled out eventually, as Memphis is already resting a majority of its regulars. However, if he's available, he'll likely garner an increased role during the regular-season finale.

Leads Grizz with 14 points Bane amassed 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals in 22 minutes during Thursday's 122-109 loss to Denver.

Impact Bane was by no means prolific with his scoring Thursday, but his output was enough to lead his team in the uncharacteristically uncompetitive loss. The TCU product registered double-digit points for his 16th straight game, and he has knocked down multiple three-pointers in each game during that span. Over that stretch, he is shooting 51.8 percent from beyond the arc.
