Desmond Bane’s ankle injury is almost healed.
High-scoring Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane is almost ready to make a comeback with a Grade 3 left ankle sprain, according to Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Bane has been playing basketball three-on-three for the last two weeks, and in the last few days, he has advanced to five-on-five. He might start playing again this weekend.
Coach Taylor Jenkins stated, “He’s working really hard, so I envision him back in the lineup in a couple games here.”
Before the injury, Bane was having a stellar season, averaging 24.4 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.6 rebounds in 37 games. The injury happened on January 12 during a game against the Clippers.
Bane’s timeline was stated to be three to five weeks in the team’s most recent report on February 22.
In an attempt to play in games before the season ends, Brandon Clarke, who had a torn left Achilles tendon last March, will begin five-on-five workouts this weekend.
