MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane has undergone surgery on his right big toe. The Grizzlies announced the procedure Tuesday on a broken medial sesamoid bone in the toe. Bane initially sustained the injury during the Grizzlies’ win against the Timberwolves on Nov. 11. He then missed the following 17 games with what the team called a sprained toe. The Grizzlies say Bane is expected to be fully recovered before the start of the season. The 30th overall pick in the 2020 draft ranks second in the NBA in 3-point shooting percentage.
