Desmond Bane (groin) has shaken off a questionable tag and will play in Friday's contest against the New York Knicks. A sore left groin initially left Bane iffy for the game. Last time out against the Phoenix Suns, Bane bounced back from a couple of rough outings with a 25-point effort. He has tallied 20-plus points six times in eight appearances this month while registering 6.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists.

Desmond Bane (ankle) will return to action on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team has him back in the lineup after a left ankle sprain kept Bane sidelined for two games. Bane upped his scoring numbers to 20.9 points per game last month and also started February well, posting 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting in a 132-119 win over the Milwaukee Bucks last Sunday. With Bane back in the fold,
Luke Kennard's fantasy stock takes a hit, as he will likely head back to the bench.

Desmond Bane (ankle) is forced to miss multiple games. The 26-year-old hurt his left ankle on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks and will sit out a second straight game on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins has said that Bane will "miss a little time" because of the injury. Bane's injury has given
Luke Kennard an opportunity to start, but he struggled in Monday's win over the San Antonio Spurs, missing all three attempts from deep and finishing with six points. Kennard may not receive many more chances, as
Marcus Smart (finger) and
Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) are nearing their return to the lineup.

Desmond Bane (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Bane is sitting due to soreness in his left ankle. The injury occurred with just a few minutes left in Sunday's win over the Bucks. Memphis is likely cautiously considering the 26-year-old ankle since they are in the second half of back-to-back games. While Bane is on the shelf and
Ja Morant (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the contest,
Luke Kennard and
Jake LaRavia could see expanded roles this evening.
