Desmond Michael Bane (born June 25, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the TCU Horned Frogs. Bane was selected in the first round of the 2020 NBA draft with the 30th overall pick by the Boston Celtics, but was traded to the Grizzlies in November 2020 before the start of his rookie season. Bane was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in his first year in the NBA.

Early life

[edit]

After he was born, Bane, his mother Marissa, and his sister often moved around. When he was two years old, he started living with his great-grandparents, who raised him in Richmond, Indiana, for the rest of his childhood.[1] At age 13, Bane discovered that his father, Etieno Ekiko, lived in Nigeria.[2] Bane focused on baseball until eighth grade, with his great-grandfather coaching at the youth level, and also played football and soccer.[1]

High school career

[edit]

Bane played basketball for Seton Catholic High School, a small private school in Richmond, Indiana.[1] As a senior, Bane averaged a state-high 30 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 3.2 blocks per game. He scored a school-record 62 points and nine three-pointers in a win over Lincoln Senior High School.[3] He was named MVP of the Wettig Memorial Holiday Tournament. Bane scored 1,991 points over his four-year career, surpassing 1988 Indiana Mr. Basketball winner Woody Austin for the most in Wayne County history. He did not receive an NCAA Division I offer until his senior season, when Furman offered him at the end of the November early-signing period. On May 12, 2016, Bane committed to play college basketball for TCU.[4] He was not rated by major recruiting services 247Sports, ESPN, or Rivals.[2]

Bane earned Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honors after scoring 18 points and pulling down seven rebounds against Bradley. He had 16 points including three free throws with two seconds remaining to help TCU defeat number one-ranked Kansas, 85–82, in the quarterfinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. Bane helped TCU win the NIT as a freshman, contributing nine points in the title game against Georgia Tech. He averaged 7.1 points and 2.9 rebounds per game and making 13 starts. In an 89–83 victory over Iowa State, Bane scored a season-high 27 points. As a sophomore, Bane averaged 12.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game and his 47.2% three-point accuracy led the Big 12. In the NCAA tournament, Bane had five points, four rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a block in the first-round loss to Syracuse.[4] As a junior, Bane was named to the Second Team All-Big 12.[5] He had a career-high 34 points in the team's regular-season finale against Texas and scored 30 points versus Nebraska in the second round of the NIT. Bane averaged 15.2 points per game to lead the team, 5.7 rebounds per game and shot 42.5% from behind the arc. After the season, he "tested the waters" of the NBA draft but returned to TCU.[6] As a senior, Bane was named to the First Team All-Big 12.[7] Bane averaged 16.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, and his 44.2% three-point accuracy led the Big 12.

[edit]

Bane was selected with the 30th pick in the 2020 NBA draft by the Boston Celtics. He became the first TCU player to be picked in the first round since Kurt Thomas in 1995.[9] Bane was subsequently traded to the Memphis Grizzlies for a future pick.[10] On November 25, 2020, the Grizzlies announced that they had signed Bane.[11] Bane was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team after his rookie season. He had the highest three-point field goal percentage in a rookie season since Stephen Curry (minimum 150 attempts).

On December 5, 2021, Bane scored a then-career-high 29 points and had nine rebounds in a 97–90 win over the Dallas Mavericks.[12] Bane and Tyrese Haliburton were the winners of the Clorox Clutch Challenge at the 2022 NBA All Star Weekend.[13] On March 23, 2022, Bane set the Grizzlies' franchise record for three-pointers made in a season, surpassing Mike Miller's record set in 2007 (202).[14]

In the first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs while facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, on April 22, Bane led Memphis in scoring with 34 points during a 119–118 Game 4 loss.[15] On April 30, Bane scored 23 points to help the Grizzlies eliminate the Timberwolves and reach the second round of the playoffs. Bane made 27 three-pointers in the series and set a new record for most three-pointers in team history during a single postseason.[16] The Grizzlies were eventually eliminated in six games during the second round by the Golden State Warriors, who went on to win the NBA Finals.

On October 24, 2022, Bane scored a then-career-high 38 points in a 134–124 win over the Brooklyn Nets.[17] On November 11, during a 114–103 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, he suffered a right foot injury.[18] Three days later, the Grizzlies announced that Bane was diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain of his right big toe and would be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks.[19] On December 7, the Grizzlies announced that Bane was ruled out for another three-to-four weeks with the injury.[20] However, he made his return ahead of schedule on December 24, recording 17 points, three rebounds and two assists in a 125–100 win over the Phoenix Suns.[21]

In game 4 of the Grizzlies' first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers, Bane scored a playoff career-high 36 points in a 117–111 overtime loss.[22] Two days later, Bane recorded 33 points, a playoff career-high 10 rebounds and 5 assists in a 116–99 game 5 win.[23] Memphis lost the series in 6 games.[24] After the 2022–23 season ended, Bane signed the largest contract in Grizzlies franchise history with a new max extension deal with the Grizzlies, which clocked in at five years for $207 million.[25]

On December 6, 2023, Bane scored a career-high 49 points, along with six rebounds and eight assists, in a 116–102 win against the Detroit Pistons.[26] He also joined Mike Miller as the only players in Grizzlies history to put up at least 45 points, five rebounds, and five assists in a game.[27]

On October 2, 2024, Bane was a full participant in training camp after suffering a back injury in the final nine games of the 2023–2024 season.[28]
