Desmond Bane, the Memphis Grizzlies' shooting guard, showcased his skills with a 32-point game, along with 9 rebounds and 4 assists, in a win over the Dallas Mavericks, notably without teammate Ja Morant. Unfortunately, Bane sustained a Grade 3 left ankle sprain in a later game against the Los Angeles Clippers, opting to head to the locker room rather than shoot free throws. Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins expressed uncertainty about Bane's ability to play in the following game against the Knicks. The Grizzlies have announced that Bane will be sidelined and re-evaluated in six weeks. This injury compounds the team's challenges, as they are already without Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Marcus Smart, Derrick Rose, Brandon Clarke, and Steven Adams. To address the depleted roster, the Grizzlies will have access to 3 hardship exceptions and are expected to sign players to 10-day contracts. Additionally, Jake LaRavia will be out for two weeks due to an ankle sprain.
