Grizzlies starters Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart sidelined week-to-week due to injuries

Both Bane and Smart sustained injuries in Wednesday night's game against Brooklyn, resulting in a 119-106 loss for the Grizzlies. Bane suffered a right oblique strain, while Smart sprained his right ankle. The team has confirmed that both players are considered week-to-week in terms of their recovery.

Smart was injured in the first quarter and Bane in the third quarter. Neither played in the Grizzlies’ 122-99 win over visiting Milwaukee on Thursday.

Smart only played 20 games last season after dealing with a sprained left foot and an injured finger.

Bane is second on the Grizzlies in scoring at 18.8 points per game. Memphis (3-3) plays at Philadelphia on Saturday.
