The Memphis Grizzlies are facing another challenging start to the season, grappling with multiple injuries to key players. With GG Jackson and Luke Kennard already sidelined, the team now has to cope without starters Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart, both of whom are week to week due to injuries.

Bane, a significant contributor with an average of 18.8 points per game, is dealing with a right oblique strain, while Smart is nursing a sprained ankle and has struggled with his performance early in the season.
