Top Desmond Bane News

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Puts up 24 points in win

    Bane finished with 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and one block across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 victory over Charlotte.

    Bane has surpassed the 20-point plateau in six games in a row, and the former TCU standout continues to play at a high level as one of the Grizzlies' primary offensive weapons. He's averaging 22.5 points, 6.0 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game during that prolific six-game stretch.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Extends scoring stretch Monday

    Bane logged 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 108-106 victory over the Timberwolves.

    Even though Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson could have bigger roles on offense on a more regular basis, there's no question Bane has found a way to stand out as a reliable scoring threat for Memphis. He's scored at least 20 points in five games in a row, averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game in that span.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Excels in playmaking role

    Bane totaled 22 points (10-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, 14 assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 140-112 win over the Spurs.

    The Grizzlies were without Ja Morant (foot) for this matchup Friday, and since Luke Kennard entered the starting unit as his replacement, it was Bane who ended up officiating as the primary playmaker -- and with excellent results. The 14 dimes represented a season-high mark for the former TCU star, extending his streak of games with at least 20 points to four appearances. Bane is averaging 22.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.9 steals per game over his last 10 contests.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Hits for 25 in Monday's loss

    Bane chipped in 25 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.

    The fifth-year guard continues to make an impact at both ends of the court. Over his last 12 appearances, Bane has drained multiple three-pointers 11 times and recorded multiple steals eight times, averaging 21.3 points, 6.0 assists, 5.3 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor and 43.6 percent from long range.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Strong two-way showing Saturday

    Bane posted 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 win over the Timberwolves.

    Ja Morant didn't have his best performance Saturday, but Bane was one of the players who stepped up considerably to carry the Grizzlies to victory. The former TCU standout has managed to remain consistent on a game-to-game basis, and even though at times he operates as the Grizzlies' third-best scoring option, it's worth noting he's surpassed the 20-point plateau in five of his last six contests.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Chips in 16 points vs. Houston

    Bane amassed 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 loss to the Rockets.

    Bane returned Thursday from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, and he finished the contest as Memphis' third-leading scorer behind Ja Morant (27) and Jaren Jackson (21). Over his last 10 outings, Bane has averaged 20.9 points, 6.5 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals over 30.1 minutes per game.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Playing vs. Houston

    Bane (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

    The Grizzlies will be close to being at full strength Thursday, as Bane is one of several regulars who were deemed available for this matchup. He'll return after a one-game absence and is averaging 19.2 points, 6.4 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game since the beginning of December.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Questionable with ankle sprain

    Bane (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

    Bane is in jeopardy of missing his second straight game Thursday due to an ankle sprain. Since Ja Morant (shoulder) is also iffy to play for the Grizzlies, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard may have to orchestrate Memphis' offense against the Rockets, as Marcus Smart (finger) remains out. Across nine appearances with Bane unavailable this season, Pippen is averaging 14.6 points, 5.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.4 threes in 27.0 minutes.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Ruled out

    Bane (ankle) won't play Monday against the Mavericks.

    Bane was considered doubtful leading up to Monday's clash due to a left ankle sprain, so this update arrives as expected. Look for Jaylen Wells, Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia to get more looks in Bane's absence.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Unlikely to play Monday

    Bane (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Bane has played through a left-ankle sprain against the Warriors on Friday, finishing with 22 points, 10 assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block over 35 minutes in a 121-113 loss. Jake LaRavia could make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Monday if Bane is unable to play.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Double-doubles with full stat line

    Bane produced 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-113 loss to the Warriors.

    Bane led the Grizzlies on Saturday with 22 points and 10 assists, good for his third double-double of the season. The star guard is going to need to handle additional ball-handling duties for however long Ja Morant (shoulder) remains on the shelf, which should aid Bane's overall fantasy value following a sluggish start to the season. Across his last nine outings, Bane is averaging 21.4 points, 6.8 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.7 threes while shooting 40.0 percent from downtown.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Getting green light

    Bane (ankle) will play against the Warriors on Saturday.

    Bane will shake off a questionable tag and be ready for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He looked sharp Friday against the Kings, finishing with 22 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Iffy for Saturday

    Bane (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

    The Grizzlies could be without their best players in the backcourt Sunday, as Ja Morant (AC joint) is still out and Bane could potentially miss the second game of a back-to-back for Memphis with an ankle injury. Bane is coming off a solid performance in the loss to the Kings on Friday, finishing with 22 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Scores 22 points

    Bane finished Sunday's 130-106 loss to the Thunder with 22 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes.

    The Grizzlies didn't have their best performance on offense, but Bane managed to deliver a solid stat line while scoring a team-high 22 points. This was Bane's third outing with at least 20 points in his last five contests.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Chips in 21 points vs. Clips

    Bane provided 21 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Clippers.

    Bane was initially listed as questionable for Monday's game due to an illness, but he was cleared to play despite missing Memphis' morning shootaround. He finished as the Grizzlies' third-leading scorer behind Jaren Jackson (24) and Ja Morant (23), and Bane was one rebound shy from registering his third double-double of the regular season. Bane has made a more concerted effort to get his teammates involved as of late and has dished at least seven assists in each of his last five outings. Over that span, Bane has averaged 17.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 27.9 minutes per game.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Good to go Monday

    Bane (illness) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Clippers.

    Bane was a late addition to the injury report Monday, though he will suit up after having been held out of the club's morning shootaround due to the illness. Over his last five outings, the 26-year-old has averaged 16.0 points, 6.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals across 28.0 minutes per contest.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Trending toward playing

    Bane (illness) is expected to play in Monday's game against the Clippers, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

    Bane was added to the injury report Monday morning due to illness and was held out of the Grizzlies' morning shootaround. However, Bane is expected to suit up and face the Clippers. In his last four games, Bane is averaging 16.5 points, 7.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals across 26.8 minutes.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Absent from shootaround

    Bane (illness) did not participate during Monday's morning shootaround, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    Bane was a late addition to the injury report with a questionable tag and is trending in the wrong direction. If the Grizzlies don't give the green light for Bane to suit up, Jaylen Wells, Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia would be candidates to see increased run against the Clippers on Monday.

  • Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Feeling ill, iffy for Monday

    The Grizzlies list 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: Scores team-high 23 points

    Bane contributed 23 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 27 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 victory over the Hawks.

    With Ja Morant (back) sidelined, Bane shouldered more of the offensive load, scoring a team-high 23 points. After a slow start to the season, Bane has been able to slowly turn things around, scoring at least 15 points in six of his past eight appearances. Despite the slow ramp-up, Bane should continue to play a significant role moving forward. His next opportunity to impress will come against the Clippers on Monday.
