The Memphis Grizzlies — a team decimated by injuries a season ago and this season already dealing with GG Jackson and Luke Kennard out to start this season — now have a couple of new injuries to overcome.
Starters Desmond Bane (right oblique strain) and Marcus Smart (sprained ankle) are week to week with their injuries, the team announced.

The duo likely will miss games this week against the 76ers, Nets and Lakers.
Bane is averaging 18.8 points a game while shooting 40.6% from 3 and has been a key part of the Grizzlies offense. Smart has struggled to open the season, averaging 5.6 points a game and shooting 23.5% from the floor.
