The Suns will especially need them all if Durant doesn't play.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I wonder if this was a direct response to Bane being questionable too, for a chance for KD to get a rest game. The timing seems.... suspect.

(edit: added tweet about Bane being questionable)

 

[Chaplin]

Dang, is JJJ their only rotation player available? If Bane is out, that means 4 of their 5 starters are not playing.

I hope it's more about rest than injury.

Hope Book is 100

A little Little and a drop of Diop.

I think Aladama and Zaire Williams are the only 'rotation' players from their optimal lineup that will play.

In other news, we may see another familiar face:

Not sure if they are cleared to play though.

With so much of the Memphis roster missing this game we actually have a chance at beating them in just one OT.

Good grief that might be the most devastating injury report I have ever seen.

Basically we are playing a G-league team if Bane is out.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Grizzlies add Shaq Harrison and Jaylen Nowell. Shaq Harrison is a familiar face.

Bismack signed to play against the Suns tonight!

 

[Yuma]

No KD and we need to win by 30? I'd say that's not happening unless Book goes for 80 tonight!

 

[Mainstreet]

Bismack signed to play against the Suns tonight!

Hopefully, not signing Biz does not come back to bite the Suns. I believe he has been with the Grizzlies for nine games.

 

[Proximo]

This will be an interesting game.

 

[Yuma]

I swear Desmond Bane has gotten W-I-D-E-R. He's starting to look like he can play the character Bane in a super hero movie!
