Desmond Bane Might Miss Another Game With An Ankle Issue
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.

Desmond Bane Ready To Go On Monday
Desmond Bane (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Bane appears to be good to go after sitting out Saturday's game due to a hip issue. He could be asked to take on a heavier workload with Ja Morant (shoulder) uncertain for Monday's contest. Regardless, Bane is a must-start in fantasy formats and has scored 20 points or more in six of his last eight games.

Desmond Bane Available Against Knicks
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 Returns To Action Saturday
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 To "Miss A Little Time"
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.
