Desmond Bane unlikely to be 100% for the remainder of the season
Desmond Bane made his return to the Memphis Grizzlies on Dec. 23 after missing 17 games due to a grade 2 sprained right big toe and sesamoid injury. Even though he has been back and playing well as of late, Bane is unlikely to be 100% for the remainder of the season.

How much does Desmond Bane mean to his hometown Richmond, Indiana? The city of 35,000 people raised more than $33,000 for 200-plus underprivileged kids across five organizations in the area to get a chance to see Bane on Saturday vs. the Pacers.

The Grizzlies had to replace 2 key role players that are thriving on new teams. Jaren Jackson Jr. missed the first 14 games, then Desmond Bane was out for 17.
Still, at the halfway point, the Grizzlies look like a title contender.

Suddenly, the Memphis Grizzlies are 28-13 and on pace to match last season’s 56 wins after their 8th consecutive win.
Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson Jr. all shined. Tyus Jones was a game changer.
Three quick takeaways:

The Grizzlies can’t miss from deep. Desmond Bane has made all 3 of his attempts. Santi Aldama has almost made both of his. Memphis shooting 7-for-8 from deep. – 8:51 PM

More on this storyline
While joining JJ Redick and Tommy Alter on the Old Man and the Three podcast, Bane detailed how he had to go see multiple doctors. Most notably, Bane pointed out a bone injury and how his sesamoid is still in two pieces. “That’s something I’ll probably have to get taken care of in the offseason,” Bane said on the podcast. “You never know how much you need to use your big toe until you can’t use it.” -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / January 14, 2023
One notable change for Bane has been his shoes. He historically has worn Kyrie Irving’s signature shoes. Earlier this season before his injury, he had also started wearing Paul George’s Nike sneakers. The toe injury caused Bane to make an adjustment, which has led to him wearing LeBron James’ sneakers since his return. The LeBron 20 is described by Nike as the lightest shoe in James’ signature sneaker series yet. That has been the only sneaker Bane has worn in games since his toe injury. -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / January 14, 2023
