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.

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.
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.
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.
Bane, who has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the 76ers, sustained an oblique strain in the third quarter of Wednesday's game against the Nets and will be considered week-to-week moving forward. This is a huge blow to a thin backcourt as the sharpshooter and Marcus Smart (ankle) will join Cam Spencer (ankle) and Vince Williams (lower leg) on the sidelines for an extended period of time. In five regular-season outings thus far, Bane has averaged 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 combined steals-plus-blocks across 26.4 minutes per game while shooting 40.6 percent from downtown. In a depleted backcourt, Scotty Pippen, Jaylen Wells and Yuki Kawamura are all candidates for an increased role.
Bane (oblique) is out for Saturday's game versus the 76ers. Bane will miss his second straight contest Saturday while dealing with a right oblique strain. With Memphis dealing with multiple injuries to their backcourt, Jaylen Wells, Scotty Pippen and Yuki Kawamura should continue to receive increased playing time. Bane's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Brooklyn.
Bane (oblique) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with Milwaukee. Bane put up 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and six rebounds over 17 minutes before leaving Wednesday's loss to the Nets for good. Bane is averaging 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks across 26.4 minutes, including a blistering 40.6 percent from three to start the season, so his presence will be missed against the Bucks. The team should know more about the severity of his injury after receiving his imaging results, per Jessica Benson of Bally Sports Southeast. With Bane and Marcus Smart (ankle) out, Memphis will likely turn to Jake LaRavia and Jaylen Wells.
Bane will not return to Wednesday's game against Brooklyn due to an oblique injury. Bane and Marcus Smart (ankle) have both been ruled out for the remainder of the contest to continue what has been a parade of injuries for Memphis over the past 12 months. The Grizzlies close a back-to-back Thursday versus Milwaukee, and Bane's status will need to be monitored.
Bane recorded 30 points (11-19 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 126-123 loss to the Bulls. Bane was coming off back-to-back games in which he hadn't reached the 20-point mark, but he took advantage of the absence of Ja Morant (thigh) to lead the Grizzlies in scoring in this one. Bane's role as one of the Grizzlies' top offensive options is not under threat with or without Morant on the court, but the former's upside will experience an uptick whenever Morant misses time.
Bane closed Wednesday's 126-124 victory over the Jazz with 24 points (8-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes. Bane was one of three Grizzlies, with Ja Morant and Santi Aldama, who exceeded the 20-point mark. The powerful wing figures to play a prominent role on offense for Memphis as long as he manages to stay healthy, which was quite an issue within the Grizzlies in 2023-24. Bane should hover around the 20-point mark on a regular basis, as he's entrenched as the Grizzlies' second-best offensive option behind Morant.
