Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (back) will be absent for a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday versus the Spurs. He's dealing with a lumbar disc bulge, leaving the keys to the backcourt to Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jordan Goodwin. Both players have been good fantasy producers lately, and Pippen Jr. is fresh off a career night. The 23-year-old totaled 24 points, five assists, and two steals in 30 minutes against Philadelphia on Sunday. Bane's injury also means more shooting opportunities for GG Jackson II.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/guard Desmond Bane (back) will miss Friday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. Bane is still dealing with his lingering back soreness that limited his comeback run in mid-March. The Grizzlies will see Bane missing his fourth consecutive game and his 34th of the last 39 games. Memphis' season having little consequence could see Bane sitting out the last few games, but the team has not confirmed that yet. Jordan Goodwin, and Scotty Pippen Jr. have all had major minute increases recently without Bane in the lineup to boost their respective fantasy values.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (back) is ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bane will miss his third consecutive game due to back soreness continuing to bother him. Memphis' season is over when it comes to the playoff race, but they brought back Bane from his previous ankle injury in mid-March after missing over two months. Bane averaged 18.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 2.8 three-pointers per game in five games before the back pain became a problem. Grizzlies' management may consider shutting him down as the disappointing season reaches an end. Luke Kennard, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Jordan Goodwin are the leading names to benefit from more playing time in any games that Bane sits out.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (back) has been ruled out again for their Monday night matchup against the Detroit Pistons. When he's played recently, Bane has been able to handle a full starter's workload, but he seems to be on a game-by-game basis since the Grizzlies are eliminated from playoff contention. He's not going to be a reliable fantasy starter as the season comes to a close, so Luke Kennard, Jake LaRavia, and Scottie Pippen Jr. will likely be the streaming options to add as a backup plan. If fantasy managers have an IR spot, Bane is worth keeping in case he plays in their next game on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (back) is out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The guard continues to suffer from back soreness, which will force him to miss this contest. The Grizzlies are already far out of playoff contention, so they only have a little need to play anyone who is not 100 percent. Memphis will fill the void with DeJon Jarreau and Matthew Hurt, as they will likely see increased roles in the rotation. Neither of them should be considered an option in fantasy play.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (back) is considered doubtful ahead of Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The stud guard continues to deal with back soreness, which could force him to miss this contest. The Grizzlies are already far out of playoff contention, so they don't have much incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent.

Bane will make his long-awaited return considering he hasn't played in a game since the middle of January. It wouldn't be shocking at all to see Bane under a strict minutes limit for a few games. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should feel fine about getting him back in their lineups. Although, DFS players might want to wait until he's back to full speed before deploying him.
