Bane ended Friday's 135-119 win over the Nets with 21 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes. Bane returned from a one-game absence Friday, and even though Ja Morant was the one who carried the team on offense, Bane certainly made his presence felt. He reached the 20-point mark for the first time since a Nov. 20 win over the 76ers, and he extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to five games. Bane remains a regular starter for the Grizzlies when healthy, and while that role is enough to make him relevant, it's not a secret that his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction. He's averaging 14.8 points per game, representing his lowest mark -- by a sizable margin -- since his rookie year. He's also shooting a career-worst 32.4 percent from three-point range.

Goes for 21 points Friday
Bane ended Friday's 135-119 win over the Nets with 21 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes. Bane returned from a one-game absence Friday, and even though Ja Morant was the one who carried the team on offense, Bane certainly made his presence felt. He reached the 20-point mark for the first time since a Nov. 20 win over the 76ers, and he extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to five games. Bane remains a regular starter for the Grizzlies when healthy, and while that role is enough to make him relevant, it's not a secret that his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction. He's averaging 14.8 points per game, representing his lowest mark -- by a sizable margin -- since his rookie year. He's also shooting a career-worst 32.4 percent from three-point range.
Off injury report for Friday
Bane (toe) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's game against Brooklyn. Bane is set to return to action after sitting out of Sunday's win over the Wizards due to left toe soreness. Over his last five outings, the sharpshooter has averaged 14.8 points, 4.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals while shooting 49.2 percent from the field across 30.4 minutes per game.
Not playing Sunday
Bane (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards. Bane will miss his first game since Nov. 13 due to left toe soreness. The 26-year-old will join Ja Morant (back) on the sideline, meaning the Grizzlies will likely afford extended run to Scotty Pippen, John Konchar and Jaylen Wells. Bane's next chance to play will come Friday against the Nets.
Questionable for Sunday
Bane is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards due to left toe soreness. Bane and Ja Morant (back) both land on the injury report for the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set after playing Saturday. Bane posted 14 points, four assists, two rebounds and three steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's win over Boston.
Will play vs. Boston
Bane (toe) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports. Bane was initially listed as questionable due to a toe injury, but the star guard will get the nod Saturday and should handle his regular workload. This will be Bane's 11th straight start. He's averaging 12.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in the previous 10.
Questionable Saturday vs. Celtics
Bane (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Boston. Bane's status for Saturday's game may not be known until the Grizzlies go through pregame warmups. If Bane is unable to play, Scotty Pippen or Marcus Smart (ankle) could be inserted into the starting lineup alongside Ja Morant and Jaylen Wells. Bane has averaged 17.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.0 steals over 31.0 minutes per game in his last three outings.
Scores team-high 18 points
Bane supplied 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 win over the Kings. Bane has been trending in the right direction in recent games, and it seems the shooting woes plaguing him in late November are a thing of the past now. He's surpassed the 15-point mark in his last three appearances in December, averaging 17.7 points per game and shooting 53.8 percent from the floor in that span.
Shooting woes continue
Bane ended Friday's 120-109 victory over the Pelicans with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes. Bane continues to struggle on the offensive end, having shot a combined 10-of-36 from the field over the past four games. An injury after just five games certainly slowed his momentum following a solid start to the season. However, he has now suited up eight times since returning, making his shooting slump a little more baffling. Based on what we have seen from Bane in the past, he should be able to find a way to rectify the situation, starting with what should be an uptempo contest against the Pacers on Sunday.
Fills stat sheet Wednesday
Bane closed with 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers. Jaren Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring with his 25-point effort, but Bane led the team in rebounds and assists while also surpassing the 20-point mark. Bane has looked very good after missing seven straight games due to a strained right oblique, and he's averaging 13.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in his four appearances since returning to the hardwood.
