Desmond Bane Fantasy Stats

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Memphis Grizzlies are trading guard Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic. In exchange, Memphis will receive guards Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks, and a first-round pick swap. It's a big investment for Orlando. However, Bane is a borderline All-Star and a player capable of picking up some of the slack on the offensive end behind Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. The 26-year-old is one of the most feared three-point shooters in the National Basketball Association, draining 41.0% of his attempts from downtown throughout his career while averaging 17.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.0 steals. It's logical to assume Bane may not be as potent on the scoring end in Orlando, considering Banchero and Wagner should continue to be the focal points offensively. Still, he is expected to remain a valuable fantasy option for managers as long as he stays healthy, something that has been an issue for him since entering the league in 2020.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (adductor) is on track to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, as the team has not included him on the injury report. Bane saw a run of 21 consecutive appearances come to an end on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks when he was ruled out for the game due to left adductor soreness. In other words, Bane was rested for the regular-season finale to keep him fresher for the Play-In Tournament. Recently, Bane has found his scoring touch, averaging 27.3 points over his past four appearances. However, the Warriors held him to 18.5 points per game over four regular-season meetings.

Memphis Grizzlies guard 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.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward 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.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward 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.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward 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.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward 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.

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.
