Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Shooting woes continue
Bane ended Friday's 120-109 victory over the Pelicans with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes.
Bane continues to struggle on the offensive end, having shot a combined 10-of-36 from the field over the past four games. An injury after just five games certainly slowed his momentum following a solid start to the season. However, he has now suited up eight times since returning, making his shooting slump a little more baffling. Based on what we have seen from Bane in the past, he should be able to find a way to rectify the situation, starting with what should be an uptempo contest against the Pacers on Sunday.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Fills stat sheet Wednesday
Bane closed with 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers.
Jaren Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring with his 25-point effort, but Bane led the team in rebounds and assists while also surpassing the 20-point mark. Bane has looked very good after missing seven straight games due to a strained right oblique, and he's averaging 13.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in his four appearances since returning to the hardwood.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Comes close to triple-double
Bane recorded 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over the Nuggets.
Bane didn't have his best shooting performance, but the veteran guard found a way to make an impact in other areas and finished just three assists away from a triple-double. He should continue to see an uptick in his usage rate with Ja Morant (hip) sidelined, even if his scoring numbers do not reflect it much. The perfect example of that uptick is that Bane's 11 rebounds and seven assists were both season-high marks for the five-year veteran.

The fifth-year wing was expected to be on a minutes restriction in his first game action since Oct. 30, but Bane seemed close to full strength in his return from an oblique strain, playing most of the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies tried to mount a late comeback.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Goes through shootaround Friday
Bane (oblique), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors, was active during the Grizzlies' shootaround, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Bane was upgraded to questionable following a seven-game absence, and his status suggests he is nearing a return to game action. The sharpshooter will likely remain a game-time decision after going through warmups, and if he suits up, he will likely be under a minute restriction in his return. If Bane is unable to play, Santi Aldama is expected to draw the start at small forward once again.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Ruled out vs. Lakers
Bane (oblique) is out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Bane is in line to miss a seventh straight contest, and there's no clarity on when he'll return to the hardwood.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Deemed week-to-week
Bane, who has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the 76ers, sustained an oblique strain in the third quarter of Wednesday's contest against the Nets and will be considered week-to-week moving forward.
This is a huge blow to a thin backcourt as the sharpshooter and Marcus Smart (ankle) will join Cam Spencer (ankle) and Vince Williams (lower leg) on the sidelines for an extended period of time. In five regular-season outings thus far, Bane has averaged 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 combined steals-plus-blocks across 26.4 minutes per game while shooting 40.6 percent from downtown. In a depleted backcourt, Scotty Pippen, Jaylen Wells and Yuki Kawamura are all candidates for an increased role.

Bane will miss his second straight contest Saturday while dealing with a right oblique strain.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Ruled out Thursday
Bane (oblique) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Bane put up 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and six rebounds over 17 minutes before leaving Wednesday's loss to the Nets for good. Bane is averaging 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks across 26.4 minutes, including a blistering 40.6 percent from three to start the season, so his presence will be missed against the Bucks. The team should know more about the severity of his injury after receiving his imaging results, per Jessica Benson of Bally Sports Southeast. With Bane and Marcus Smart (ankle) out, Memphis will likely turn to Jake LaRavia and Jaylen Wells.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Scores 30 points in loss Monday
Bane recorded 30 points (11-19 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 126-123 loss to the Bulls.
Bane was coming off back-to-back games in which he hadn't reached the 20-point mark, but he took advantage of the absence of Ja Morant (thigh) to lead the Grizzlies in scoring in this one. Bane's role as one of the Grizzlies' top offensive options is not under threat with or without Morant on the court, but the former's upside will experience an uptick whenever Morant misses time.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Scores 24 points in season opener
Bane closed Wednesday's 126-124 victory over the Jazz with 24 points (8-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes.
Bane was one of three Grizzlies, with Ja Morant and Santi Aldama, who exceeded the 20-point mark. The powerful wing figures to play a prominent role on offense for Memphis as long as he manages to stay healthy, which was quite an issue within the Grizzlies in 2023-24. Bane should hover around the 20-point mark regularly, as he's entrenched as the Grizzlies' second-best offensive option behind Morant.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Scores 19 points vs. Miami
Bane tallied 19 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 114-109 preseason loss to the Heat.
Bane led the Grizzlies in assists Friday and co-led in scoring with Santi Aldama. Bane averaged a career-high 23.7 points per game in 2023-24, but he played only 42 regular-season games due to separate ankle and back injuries. The 2020 first-round pick will look to help lead the Grizzlies back to the NBA postseason alongside starters Ja Morant, Marcus Smart, Jaren Jackson (hamstring) and rookie center Zach Edey.
