Bane (back) will be sidelined for a few more weeks but is expected to have a healthy summer, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports. Bane averaged 24.7 points, 5.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.9 minutes over his first 36 appearances of 2023-24 before injuries derailed his campaign. An ankle injury sidelined Bane from mid-January to mid-March, and he appeared in only five of the ensuing six games before a back issue cost him the final nine contests of the regular season. It was a lost season for the Grizzlies as a whole, as Ja Morant (suspension/shoulder), Marcus Smart (finger/foot) and others also missed extended periods. However, it sounds like the Grizzlies will have a healthy offseason, which bodes well for their chances of bouncing back in 2024-25.

Desmond Bane Latest News
Expected to have healthy offseason
Bane (back) will be sidelined for a few more weeks but is expected to have a healthy summer, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports. Bane averaged 24.7 points, 5.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.9 minutes over his first 36 appearances of 2023-24 before injuries derailed his campaign. An ankle injury sidelined Bane from mid-January to mid-March, and he appeared in only five of the ensuing six games before a back issue cost him the final nine contests of the regular season. It was a lost season for the Grizzlies as a whole, as Ja Morant (suspension/shoulder), Marcus Smart (finger/foot) and others also missed extended periods. However, it sounds like the Grizzlies will have a healthy offseason, which bodes well for their chances of bouncing back in 2024-25.
Won't suit up Sunday
Bane (back) won't play Sunday against the Nuggets. As expected, Bane's regular season is officially over. His campaign was riddled with injuries, as he made just 42 appearances. He finished with averages of 23.7 points, 5.5 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.
Likely out for remainder of season
Coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that there is a "good chance" Bane (back) won't play for the rest of the season, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. With the Grizzlies already being eliminated from the playoffs, it appears that they are shutting down Bane and Jaren Jackson (quadriceps) for the final week of the 2023-24 campaign. Bane will likely end the season averaging 23.7 points, 5.5 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.4 minutes across 42 appearances. The 25-year-old guard showed a promising ability to be a lead scorer, with Ja Morant (shoulder) missing most of the season.
Remains out
Bane (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs. Bane will miss a sixth straight game due to back soreness. His next chance to suit up will come during the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set Wednesday in Cleveland, but at this point, it feels like the Grizzlies may shut down their top players for the final week of the regular season.
Will remain sidelined
Bane (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers. Bane's back soreness will extend his absent streak to five games. The star shooting guard's next chance to take the floor will come Tuesday versus the Spurs. While he is out, Luke Kennard (knee) and GG Jackson are all candidates to see extended workloads at shooting guard.
Remains out Friday
Bane (back) is out for Friday's game against Detroit. At this point of the season and with the Grizzlies out of the playoff race, it doesn't make sense to risk Bane down the stretch. This will be his fourth straight absence due to back soreness, and his next chance to play, as unlikely as it might be, will be a Saturday matchup against the 76ers at home.
Absence to continue Wednesday
Bane (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee. Bane will miss a third consecutive contest due to back soreness. He is joined by Vince Williams (knee) and Yuta Watanabe (personal) in being unavailable for Wednesday's game, while John Konchar (heel) is doubtful.
Won't play Monday
Bane (back) will be inactive for Monday's game against Detroit. Bane will miss a second consecutive game due to back spasms, with his next opportunity to take the court coming Wednesday against Milwaukee. Santi Aldama (illness) and John Konchar (heel) are questionable and doubtful, respectively, for a Memphis rotation in flux.
Won't play Saturday
Bane is out for Saturday's game versus the Magic due to back soreness. Bane's absence will likely open up increased minutes for Luke Kennard, Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson. Bane's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Detroit.
