SAN FRANCISCO – The Grizzlies are hopeful center Steven Adams’ return to action and the improved health of guard Desmond Bane will provide a boost against the Warriors as their second-round playoff series shifts to Golden State.
Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins confirmed after Friday’s practice in Oakland that Adams will be available to play as soon as Saturday, and that Bane’s sore back condition has improved significantly entering a pivotal Game 3 at the Chase Center.
Both Adams and Bane participated in Friday’s workout as the Grizzlies look to regain homecourt advantage in the 1-1 series by winning at least one of the next two games in Golden State.
