On Wednesday evening, the Memphis Grizzlies will be in Texas to face off against the Houston Rockets. 

For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as Desmond Bane has been added to the injury report. 

Via Grizzlies PR: ".@memgrizz status update: 

Desmond Bane (Illness) is questionable tonight at @HoustonRockets."

In 39 minutes of playing time, Bane had 28 points, three rebounds, eight assists and one steal while shooting 11/20 from the field and 3/9 from the three-point range.
