Desmond Bane: Rising Star in Memphis
Young Talent Makes Waves in NBA
Desmond Michael Bane, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound shooting guard, is making a name for himself in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Hailing from Muncie, Indiana, Bane's basketball journey began at the University of Cincinnati. After a standout college career, he was drafted 30th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Memphis Grizzlies. Despite being a second-round pick, Bane quickly proved his worth.
In his rookie season, Bane averaged 9.2 points per game as a starter. His impressive performance earned him a spot on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. In his second season, he took his game to another level, averaging 18.2 points per game and shooting 43.6% from the field.
Bane's rise has been meteoric, but it is not without its challenges. After suffering a toe injury that sidelined him for most of the 2022-23 season, Bane is determined to return stronger than ever. With a new five-year, $207 million contract extension in hand, the future looks bright for this rising NBA star.
