MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Memphis Grizzlies starters Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart will sit out multiple games because of injuries, the team said Friday.
Bane has a right oblique strain, and Smart has a sprained right ankle. The Grizzlies said both are week-to-week.
Both were hurt in Wednesday night's 119-106 loss to visiting Brooklyn. Smart was injured in the first quarter and Bane in the third. Neither played in the Grizzlies' 122-99 win over visiting Milwaukee on Thursday.
Smart played only 20 games last season after dealing with a sprained left foot and an injured finger.
Bane is second on the Grizzlies in scoring at 18.8 points.
Memphis (3-3) plays at Philadelphia on Saturday.
