Bane recorded 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over the Nuggets. Bane didn't have his best shooting performance, but the veteran guard found a way to make an impact in other areas and finished just three assists away from a triple-double. He should continue to see an uptick in his usage rate with Ja Morant (hip) sidelined, even if his scoring numbers do not reflect it much. The perfect example of that uptick is that Bane's 11 rebounds and seven assists were both season-high marks for the five-year veteran.

Comes close to triple-double
Bane recorded 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over the Nuggets. Bane didn't have his best shooting performance, but the veteran guard found a way to make an impact in other areas and finished just three assists away from a triple-double. He should continue to see an uptick in his usage rate with Ja Morant (hip) sidelined, even if his scoring numbers do not reflect it much. The perfect example of that uptick is that Bane's 11 rebounds and seven assists were both season-high marks for the five-year veteran.
Moving back into starting lineup
Bane will start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Bane made his return Friday following a seven-game absence due to an oblique injury, but he operated off the bench, recording 18 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during a loss to Golden State. Santi Aldama will shift to the bench as a corresponding move.
Pops for 18 in return
Bane (oblique) supplied 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench during Friday's 123-118 loss to the Warriors. The fifth-year wing was expected to be on a minutes restriction in his first game action since Oct. 30, but Bane seemed close to full strength in his return from an oblique strain, playing most of the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies tried to mount a late comeback. He could rejoin the starting five and clear 30 minutes as soon as Sunday's home clash with the Nuggets.
Coming off bench Friday
Bane is not in the Grizzlies starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Bane is returning from a seven-game absence Friday due to a strained right oblique. However, he will come off the bench as the Grizzlies will start Scotty Pippen and Jaylen Wells in the backcourt, and Bane will likely operate on a minutes restriction in his return.
Returning Friday
Bane (oblique) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors. Bane will return to action Friday after missing the Grizzlies' last seven games due to a right oblique strain, though he could be under a minutes restriction following a lengthy absence. In the four games prior to his injury, Bane averaged 21.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals over 28.8 minutes per contest.
Goes through shootaround Friday
Bane (oblique), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors, was active during the Grizzlies' shootaround, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Bane was upgraded to questionable following a seven-game absence, and his status suggests he is nearing a return to game action. The sharpshooter will likely remain a game-time decision after going through warmups, and if he suits up, he will likely be under a minute restriction in his return. If Bane is unable to play, Santi Aldama is expected to draw the start at small forward once again.
Questionable for Friday
Bane (oblique) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors. Bane's questionable tag suggests he is progressing toward a return to game action after being deemed week-to-week in early November due to a right oblique strain. The sharpshooter is in jeopardy of missing his eighth straight contest and if he is unable to suit up, Santi Aldama is expected to draw the start at small forward once again.
Ruled out vs. Lakers
Bane (oblique) is out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Bane is in line to miss a seventh straight contest, and there's no clarity on when he'll return to the hardwood. Bane was deemed week-to-week in early November, and there haven't been any signs of progression in his recovery, so it's uncertain when the forward will be able to return. Santi Aldama should remain in the starting lineup while Bane is out. His next chance to play will come against the Warriors on Friday.
Out vs. Portland
Bane (oblique) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers. Bane was deemed week-to-week in early November, and there haven't been any signs of progression in his recovery, so it's uncertain when the forward will be able to return. Bane's next chance to play will come against the Lakers on Wednesday, and Santi Aldama is expected to remain in the lineup while Bane is sidelined.
