Struggles in loss Pippen supplied five points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 117-103 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Pippen has been a solid contributor for the Grizzlies this season but failed to make an impact in Monday's loss against the Celtics. This was the first time the 24-year-old guard failed to crack double digits in the scoring column for the first time in his last seven games.

Retreating to bench Saturday Pippen is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Lakers on Saturday.

Impact Pippen started in Memphis' last three games due to the absence of Ja Morant and averaged 16.0 points, 7.3 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals over 27.3 minutes per game over that span. Morant has been given the green light to return from a six-game absence due to a hamstring injury, which will shift Pippen to the bench for Saturday's contest.

Sniffs triple-double Pippen posted 17 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and five steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 125-104 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Pippen was impressive in his third straight start, and he continues to show he can handle a bigger role in the rotation when needed. He's having an absolute career-best season in 2024-25, and the numbers back that up. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his last nine outings (three starts) while averaging 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists and a combined 3.1 steals-plus-blocks per game in that stretch. As if that wasn't enough, Pippen is also shooting an impressive -- yet unsustainable -- 53.1 percent from three-point range over that nine-game stretch.

Pops for 15 in Friday's start Pippen chipped in 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 128-108 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Making his first start since March 1, Pippen drained more than two three-pointers for the first time since Feb. 5. The third-year guard has scored in double digits in six of his last seven appearances, averaging 12.6 points, 5.1 assists, 3.6 boards, 2.3 steals, 1.7 threes and 0.9 blocks over that stretch in 27.3 minutes a contest.

Will start vs. LAC Pippen will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Pippen will make his 18th start of the season for the Grizzlies with Ja Morant (hamstring) still on the mend. The Vanderbilt product is averaging 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game as a starter during the 2024-25 campaign.

Posts 18 points in return to action Pippen logged 18 points (7-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 115-99 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact The Grizzlies began the game with Luke Kennard at the point, but he quickly gave way to Pippen, who returned after a one-game absence. Kennard and Pippen are usually the first man up when Ja Morant (hamstring) is out, although Pippen is usually the first choice when healthy. While his results pale in comparison to Morant, he's a serviceable source of assists and points when he sees at least 25 minutes.

MARCH 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Wednesday Pippen (wrist) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact After missing Monday's loss to the Kings with a wrist injury, Pippen will return to the lineup for the Grizzlies in Portland. The 24-year-old guard has a consistent role with Memphis this season, averaging 9.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 47 percent from the floor and 36.9 percent from deep.

MARCH 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Pippen (wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Pippen missed Monday's loss to the Kings due to left wrist soreness, although that was just the second time he missed a game in 2024-25. With Pippen questionable and Ja Morant (hamstring) out, Luke Kennard is expected to see more minutes in the backcourt.

MARCH 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't go Monday Pippen (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Sacramento.

Impact Pippen will miss just his second outing on the season due to left wrist soreness. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Portland. Luke Kennard will likely see an uptick in playing time due to Pippen being sidelined.

MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with wrist injury Pippen (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.

Impact Pippen is dealing with left wrist soreness, which may have developed during the Grizzlies' 125-91 win over the Heat on Saturday. With Ja Morant (hamstring) sidelined, Pippen would be slated to see a heavier workload off the bench with Luke Kennard starting. However, if Pippen cannot play, then Vince Williams could be in line to see more minutes off the bench instead.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles off bench Pippen produced 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 125-91 win over the Heat.

Impact Luke Kennard got the start at point guard due to the absence of Ja Morant (shoulder), but Pippen ended up delivering an excellent stat line. He was the primary playmaking option off the bench and orchestrated the offense beautifully when on the court, which led to him ending with double-digit assists for the eighth time this season. As good as he was Saturday, however, fantasy managers must be cautious with what Pippen can bring to the table. His role is inconsistent, and his minutes would shrink considerably if Morant is eligible to return Monday against the Kings.

Efficient off bench Sunday Pippen closed Sunday's 107-104 win over the Pelicans with 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes.

Impact Pippen has been starting here and there every time Ja Morant has been forced to miss time, but he's been playing well off the bench in recent games, too. He's recorded double-digit points in three of his last four outings with the second unit, and he's achieved that goal in four of his six outings in March so far, including a 12-point, seven-assist effort in his lone start over that stretch. Pippen's value is directly tied to Morant's availability, but if he manages to continue playing at this level, then Pippen could have some value -- although limited -- in deep leagues as a streaming option as well.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid line off bench in loss Pippen supplied 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Despite coming off the bench, Pippen was one of the standout performers for the Grizzlies, as he recorded three or more tallies in four of the five major categories while also showing an efficient touch from the floor. Pippen doesn't have a big role off the bench if Ja Morant is available, so fantasy managers should see Pippen as a potential streaming option, but not much else in most formats.

Cleared to play against OKC Pippen (toe) is available for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact Pippen popped up on Tuesday's injury report due to left toe soreness, but the issue isn't severe enough for him to be sidelined for Wednesday's contest. He's averaged 6.7 points, 3.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 14.6 minutes per game since the beginning of February.

MARCH 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Pippen (toe) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Pippen has played a significant role for the Grizzlies this season, especially when Ja Morant (shoulder) can't play, who is also listed as questionable for this game. The 24-year-old guard has missed only one game during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 9.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game. If he can't go Wednesday, Memphis may have to lean on Luke Kennard in the backcourt.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Monday Pippen is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Hawks on Monday.

Impact Pippen started in Saturday's 130-128 loss to the Spurs, and he finished with 12 points, seven assists, four rebounds and one steal over 28 minutes. Even with Ja Morant (shoulder) ruled out for Monday's game, Pippen will come off the bench while Luke Kennard enters the Grizzlies' starting five.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid output in starting role Pippen supplied 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Saturday's 130-128 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Pippen entered the starting lineup due to the absence of Ja Morant (shoulder) and posted a solid stat line, ending just three assists away from a double-double. It's unclear if Morant will have to spend some time on the sidelines, but Pippen's fantasy value for the upcoming games will be directly tied to Morant's availability. Pippen is averaging 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game when deployed in a starting role.
