Grizzlies' Bane and Smart Out for Additional Three Weeks

The Memphis Grizzlies face extended absences of key players Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart, further impacting their challenging season.

Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart, injured Grizzlies guards, will be sidelined for at least three more weeks due to their respective injuries.
Bane, who was having a career year, suffered a Grade 3 ankle sprain on January 12, while Smart sustained a finger injury on January 9.
The Grizzlies, already struggling with a 20-36 record, are unlikely to contend for the playoffs this season.
In addition to Bane and Smart, the team has been without Ja Morant due to a season-ending injury and Brandon Clarke, who is recovering from an Achilles injury.
Coach Taylor Jenkins remains hopeful for the return of injured players, including Jake LaRavia, who is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Clippers.
