Off the floor, Bane is one of Morant's closest teammates. "It's a lot of emotion in it," Tyus Jones said.

Memphis Coach Taylor Jenkins said before a loss to the Clippers that there's really no timetable for when the star guard will return.
These are tough times for him, tough times for the organization, but you’ve got to really peel back and understand the person he is.

If they were to slip to the No. He’s got huge responsibilities — not just for the team but the city.” He’s going to come back and take over the league.

In the meantime, Jenkins, who called the video a “very, very tough moment,” said the Grizzlies made the internal decision to sideline Morant indefinitely. We still have a job to do.

And with Morant and Clarke out, it’s time to get back to the drawing board. Yes, the Grizzlies will be underdogs more than usual in the days to come. A potential Kennard/Bane/Brooks/Jackson Jr./Adams lineup creates massive problems for opposing teams in terms of limiting both the pick and roll as well as closing out on multiple capable shooters on the perimeter. Both Bane and Kennard have experience running the offense - Bane of course as his role in Memphis has evolved over the last two seasons... Kawhi had success at times, especially in that evil 4th quarter - but he has his way offensively against just about everyone, and Paul George was the larger issue in this game. The Grizzlies are one of the worst 4th quarter teams in the NBA, especially recently. The same happened in the 4th quarter against the Clippers. And that will be on full display in the days and weeks ahead. And in the starting slot, Jones has been able to have success, with Sunday night against the Clippers being the strongest result yet. Dillon Brooks - every NBA fan bases’ favorite guy to hate (even at times the Memphis fan base) because of his defensive tenacity and overall demeanor - was only suspended one game for getting his 16th technical against the Nuggets. But that showing was without not just Ja and BC, but two other key cogs to the Memphis machine that will almost certainly be back before both Morant and Clarke.
