Memphis Grizzlies guard
Desmond Bane (ankle) exited Friday's loss to the Clippers. The 25-year-old, who finished with 15 points, sprained his left ankle after stepping on
Kawhi Leonard's foot near the end of the third quarter, ending his night after 23 minutes of work. Head coach Taylor Jenkins couldn't provide an update on Bane's health. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him in the lineup on Saturday versus the New York Knicks. It's another tough blow for Memphis, with the Grizzlies recently losing
Ja Morant (shoulder) for the remainder of the year and
Marcus Smart (finger) for the next six weeks. Nonetheless,
Jaren Jackson Jr. should see an uptick on the scoring end without Bane, Morant, and Smart on the floor. Additionally,
Ziaire Williams,
Luke Kennard,
Jake LaRavia, and
Xavier Tillman Sr. should draw streaming interest in deep fantasy leagues, even though none are routine producers offensively.
