I didn't know Desmond Bane is back for the Grizzlies, this makes them harder to beat.
I had no either he was back for Grizzlies either, but I still tailed the OP's bet on the Grizzlies regardless, but upon seeing Bane in the starting line up, I already knew it was going to be a L for the Phoenix Suns who were playing without Devin Booker. Bane even played for more minutes than I anticipated, I given how long he was out for, I expected heavy minutes limitation, but he still had some great numbers, even though he wasn't at his best from behind the arc, Brandon Clark was the really Grizzlies here for the night imo, 24 points, and 10 rebounds, 5 of which Offensive rebound and all led to the Grizzlies scoring points, some times the bucket counted plus a foul.
I was also asking myself why they let him stay at garbage time and then Ayton and Bridges was also playing in an obvious white flag game.
Maybe it's for Holiday's sake, just to let the fans be entertained.
Desmond Bane's case is different though, they may have been trying to make him heat up as he just came back and giving him more minutes to play to check his health.
5 games later guys.
