Desmond Bane's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (ankle) will rejoin the action on Thursday against Houston. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Bane scored at least 22 points in four straight contests before an ankle sprain knocked him out of the lineup for Monday's tilt against Dallas. Luckily for the Grizzlies, Bane will be able to return to the lineup after missing just one game. Memphis also has Ja Morant (shoulder) back on Thursday, so Houston's top-class defense faces a big challenge. The two combined for 41 points in this season's first clash with the Rockets.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (ankle) carries a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's contest against Houston. An ankle injury might keep him out of action for a second consecutive game. The Grizzlies are once again battling injuries in 2024-25, giving players like Scotty Pippen Jr., Luke Kennard, and Jaylen Wells extra responsibilities. All three players have performed well recently, although Wells has struggled with consistency. Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) might also drop out of the lineup on Thursday, opening up even more minutes in the rotation.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) was considered doubtful coming into Monday and was ruled out, as expected, before the Grizzlies hosted the Mavericks. Without Bane, Ja Morant (shoulder), Marcus Smart (finger), and Scotty Pippen Jr. will get all the usage they can handle in the backcourt, although Luke Kennard (hamstring) is now available after being upgraded from out to questionable in the middle of the day on Monday. Jaylen Wells and Cam Spencer will also be more involved in the backcourt against Dallas with Bane unavailable.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (illness) has been cleared to face the Clippers on Monday night. He landed late on the injury report with an illness, but the team has upgraded Bane from questionable to available. Bane has not been the best version of himself this season, settling for 14.9 points in 28.0 minutes. The Clippers have a top-six defense in the league, so it might be another quiet night offensively for Bane on Monday.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (illness) is considered questionable for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to an illness. The 26-year-old picked up the illness after their last game on Saturday when he played 27 minutes in the win over the Atlanta Hawks. If he's unable to play, Scottie Pippen Jr. and Jaylen Wells should see a usage increase since Ja Morant is not on the injury report for this game. Pippen finished with 22 points, nine assists, five rebounds, and two steals in their last matchup, and has been the more consistent fantasy option.
