Born on June 25th, 1998 as Desmond Michael Bane, he is an American pro basketball player who plays in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the Memphis Grizzlies. Bane was a part of college basketball for the TCU Horned Frogs.
As a child, his mother and his sister usually shifted around. At the age of two, Bane began living with his great-grandparents and grew up in Richmond, Indiana, for the remainder of his childhood. When he was 13 years old, he found out that his biological father Etieno Ekiko was from Nigeria. As he grew up, he started playing baseball and was more successful than in basketball but he chose basketball instead. He concentrated on baseball until he reached 8th grade and was coached by his great-grandfather at the youth tier, and also played both football and soccer at the same time.
Bane was signed by the Memphis Grizzlies on November 25th, 2020, and has since been playing for the team as a shooting guard.
