Memphis Grizzlies fans were puzzled. More than a month went by with Luke Kennard as a free agent, despite the team’s interest in re-signing the sharpshooter. But Desmond Bane was never worried. Not even one bit. Bane, speaking at his annual back-to-school supply giveaway event Saturday morning, said he had the “inside scoop” before the Grizzlies eventually agreed to a contract with Kennard on Aug. 1. “I’m looking at Twitter like, ‘these fools,’” Bane said. -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / August 3, 2024
