Ejected in loss to Miami Pippen was ejected late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's loss to the Heat after engaging in a fight with Myron Gardner, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact It seemed Pippen was the one who went straight at Gardner, so it wouldn't be surprising if he received a fine or a suspension in the coming days. Pippen ended the game with 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block across 21 minutes off the bench.

Ruled out for Friday Pippen has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz due to left great toe injury management.

Impact Pippen will miss the front end of this back-to-back set but could return for Saturday's game against Miami. With the Grizzlies set to be extremely shorthanded in the backcourt, Cam Spencer, Jahmai Mashack and Javon Small should see an uptick in minutes.

Impact Pippen missed the second half of the team's back-to-back set Saturday as he returns to action following an extended absence due to a left great toe injury.

Ruled out Saturday Pippen (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Portland.

Impact Pippen made his regular-season debut in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers but will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back due to left great toe injury management. His next opportunity to play will come Monday against Golden State. The Grizzlies are expected to be extremely shorthanded in the backcourt Saturday, leaving more minutes available for the likes of Javon Small, Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Solid numbers in season debut Pippen contributed 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's 135-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Finally cleared to make his season debut after recovering from October toe surgery, Pippen was plugged right into the starting five and delivered a strong performance, although his minutes were unsurprisingly limited. The fourth-year guard will likely shift to the bench with Ty Jerome (calf) expected to play Saturday for the second game of a back-to-back set in Portland.

Scotty Pippen Jr. makes season debut for the Grizzlies after toe surgery

Guard Scotty Pippen Jr. made his season debut for the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night after undergoing surgery on his left big toe in October

FEBRUARY 7 • Associated Press

Starting in 2025-26 debut Pippen is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Impact Pippen was given the green light to make his 2025-26 regular-season debut Friday after recovering from a procedure he underwent in October for a left big toe injury, and he'll be in the starting lineup due to the absence of Ty Jerome (calf). Pippen averaged 9.9 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 21.3 minutes per game during the 2024-25 regular season.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Pippen (toe) is available for Friday's game against Portland.

Impact After undergoing left big toe surgery in October, Pippen will make his regular-season debut in the first leg of this back-to-back set. It wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a strict minutes restriction during his return. Over 79 regular-season appearances (21 starts) in 2024-25, Pippen averaged 9.9 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 21.3 minutes per tilt.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Pippen (toe) is questionable for Friday's game in Portland.

Impact This is the first time that Pippen has received the questionable tag this season, so it's possible he could be making his regular-season debut Friday night. He'll likely have some minutes restrictions in his first game back, but if Pippen is cleared, he'd be worth a look in deep leagues. Through 15 games in March last season, Pippen registered averages of 12.1 points, 5.3 assists, 1.5 triples and 2.1 steals per contest on 51/46/86 shooting splits.

Not playing Wednesday Pippen (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Pippen has yet to make his 2025-26 regular-season debut while recovering from left big toe surgery that he underwent in October. The good news for the fourth-year pro was that he was initially listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game, rather than being outright ruled out, indicating that he is getting closer to a return. Pippen's next chance to play is Friday against the Trail Blazers.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to go Wednesday Pippen (toe) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Sacramento.

Impact This is the first time this season that Pippen has been upgraded to doubtful ahead of a game, so there's reason to believe he's nearing a return to action. While there's a good chance he'll be ruled out prior to Wednesday's matchup, his status will be worth keeping an eye moving forward.
