Desmond Bane Injury Update

Published:

By: Stan Son

During Sunday’s game, Desmond Bane drove down the lane, jumped and dished off a pass, but landed on the foot of Brook Lopez. He ended sitting the final three minutes of the game and played a total of 28 minutes.

On Monday, an MRI revealed a foot strain, but Taylor Jenkins said that Bane will “will miss a little bit of time.” No timetable has been set at this juncture.

It’s a shame because Bane had been playing so well over the last eight games with Ja Morant in and out of the lineup. Bane was averaging 20.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2.1 treys and 0.9 steals in 33.1 minutes per game.

Luke Kennard should be the primary beneficiary with Bane out.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
