Desmond Bane Unavailable Versus Wizards

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (toe) will not play on Sunday against Washington. A sore toe will end a spell of 12 consecutive appearances for Bane, who's had a quiet campaign in 2024-25. Ja Morant (back) also won't play on Sunday, allowing players like Scotty Pippen Jr., Marcus Smart, and Jaylen Wells to step into […]

Ja Morant Out On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (back) will not suit up for Sunday's clash against Washington.

This is a signal for fantasy managers to fire up Scotty Pippen Jr, who produced […]

Desmond Bane Could Sit Out On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (toe) is currently considered as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Ja Morant Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Luke Kennard Uncertain For Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings.
