Desmond Bane News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Scores in double figures Bane posted 13 points (5-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 119-97 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Bane was held to a single-digit scoring total during Friday's loss to the Suns, but he was slightly more effective Sunday despite continuing to shoot relatively inefficiently from the floor. The 25-year-old is now averaging 23.6 points, 5.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 34.1 minutes per game this year.

Good to go Bane (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Bane tested out his foot during pregame warmups and apparently feels good enough to give it a go. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual responsibilities at shooting guard.

Questionable for Friday Bane is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to a left foot sprain.

Impact This update comes from the official injury report, so we don't have many specifics yet. But given the questionable tag, this is likely a day-to-day issue. If Bane is unable to play Friday, the Grizzlies would likely use a committee approach to soak up his minutes with guys like Jacob Gilyard, John Konchar and Ziaire Williams potentially getting a bump in fantasy value.

Scores 20-plus points again Bane accumulated 23 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 loss to Houston.

Impact With Ja Morant suspended, Bane has taken over as Memphis' primary offensive weapon and scored at least 20 points in 11 of his first 14 appearances this season. He's averaging a career-high 25.6 points, but more importantly, his shooting splits haven't taken a significant hit. His 46/37/87 splits are down compared to previous years, but not enough to override the increased offensive production.

Scores 30 in loss Bane notched 30 points (11-27 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 102-100 loss to the Celtics.

Impact This was the sixth game of the season with at least 30 points for Bane, and he also tied his season-high marks of eight assists and seven three-pointers. The Grizzlies are just 3-10 this season despite Bane's heroics, but his fantasy managers should be more than thrilled with the early returns.

Impact Bane has been a consistent 20-point scorer for the Grizzlies this season and has embraced the role of being the team's go-to scorer. Memphis has struggled badly this season but Bane has been a stud in fantasy of late, racking up 25 or more points in three of his last four contests. He's averaging 25.5 points per game in November.

Scores 15 points Tuesday Bane notched 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and five assists across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 134-107 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Bane was coming off 37-point and 27-point performances in his last two games, but he was unable to repeat that, as the Grizzlies struggled badly and suffered a 27-point defeat. Despite the team's well-known struggles, Bane continues to deliver decent numbers for the Grizzlies and is averaging a solid 25.5 points across 34.6 minutes per contest. His role as Memphis' primary scoring weapon, at least until Ja Morant (suspension) returns, is not under question.

Impact Bane's 37 points and eight assists were season-highs, but the Grizzlies were unable to do enough to get the win despite his huge game.

Impact Bane saw the end of his five-game streak with at least 20 points after another abysmal shooting display, but even after missing 12 of his 16 shots, he still posted a decent stat line across the board. Bane is operating as Memphis' primary offensive weapon in the early stages of the season, and even though the team has been struggling, the numbers back him up. Through eight contests, Bane is averaging 25.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.

He's scored at least 15 points in each of his first seven appearances of the season and has tallied 30-plus points on four occasions. The 25-year-old is now averaging 26.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 35.0 minutes per game this year.
