Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Officially ruled out

Bane (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Bane's absence shouldn't come as a surprise after he practiced with the Grizzlies' G League affiliate Wednesday. However, he seems to be inching toward a return after spending the last two months on the sidelines with an ankle sprain. Bane's next chance to suit up comes Saturday against Oklahoma City.
