Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said before Tuesday’s game against the Washington Wizards that Bane has been doing three-on-three basketball activities the past two weeks and progressed to five-on-five in the past couple of days. Now, the Grizzlies expect their star shooting guard to return this season. “(Bane’s) working really hard, so I envision in a couple games here, he’s back in the lineup,” Jenkins said.

More on this storyline

Rookie GG Jackson pointed out Bane as the team’s leader, and that isn’t a surprise to those who have been following the Grizzlies closely. Bane is one of the team’s most vocal players and often offers up constructive criticism. However, it’s another area of leadership where Bane stands out. Santi Aldama remembers during the summer he was drafted, Bane wouldn’t leave the gym. -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / February 28, 2024
Drew Hill: Taylor Jenkins said a formal injury update on Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart can be expected in the next couple days. He said Brandon Clarke is doing more work that is minimal contact and continues to trend in a good direction. The hope continues to be he will play before the end of the season. -via Twitter @DrewHill_DM / February 22, 2024
