Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Questionable for Saturday
Pippen (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Pippen has appeared in all five of the Grizzlies' regular-season games, though he's now in danger of missing Saturday's meeting with Sacramento. With Ty Jerome (back) also questionable, Pippen might find himself in the starting lineup. However, if neither of those players can suit up, Cam Spencer may get the start.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Rough night Thursday
Pippen recorded two points (1-1 FG) across 14 minutes during Thursday's 124-103 win over the Trail Blazers.
Pippen's underwhelming start to the season continued Thursday, playing fewer than 15 minutes for the second straight game. Despite some chatter heading into the season that he could battle Ty Jerome for the starting point guard position, it is clear that he is simply not in the discussion at the moment. Through five appearances, he has averaged just 6.4 points, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 16.0 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Five dimes off bench
Pippen supplied nine points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 123-103 win over the Jazz.
Pippen is playing the backup role at point guard to begin the year. Ty Jerome, who erupted for 45 points Wednesday, appears to have a strong hold on the top spot at the one for the time being.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Productive off bench
Pippen recorded 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.
Pippen came off the bench behind Ty Jerome, who started at point guard, but played well alongside Cam Spencer in the second unit. Pippen is considered Jerome's primary competition for the starting point guard job and should remain firmly in the rotation even if he begins the season as a reserve.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Challenging Jerome for starting spot
Pippen is viewed as the biggest challenger to Ty Jerome for the starting point guard job, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
With Ja Morant out of the picture, Jerome has emerged as the most likely candidate to fill his shoes, though Pippen is also in the mix. Head coach Tumoas Iisalo called the 25-year-old guard an "easy fit" alongside other players thanks to his ballhandling, defense and ability to hit perimeter shots, and he figures to take on a sizable role regardless of whether he starts. Pippen appeared in just 10 regular-season games (six starts) in 2025-26 due to toe injuries, averaging 11.4 points, 4.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 21.2 minutes per contest. He shot just 31.3 percent from deep in that small sample last season, though he's a career 39.3 percent shooter from three-point range.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Going through practices
Pippen is a full participant to begin training camp, Grizzlies president of basketball operations Zach Kleiman said, according to Memphis reporter Landon Speck.
Pippen continues to go through camp without any health-related restrictions, clearing the way for him to compete normally throughout the preseason. The guard's full participation is an encouraging after he underwent a toe procedure back in March. As Memphis begins sorting out its backcourt rotation ahead of the regular season, Pippen's battle with Ty Jerome will be one to watch.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Competing for top point guard role
Pippen (toe) has a chance to begin the new year as Memphis' starting point guard after Portland acquired Ja Morant in a trade with the Grizzlies earlier this offseason.
Pippen will have to gain clearance ahead of training camp after undergoing a toe procedure in March, but he certainly appears to be a winner of the team's offseason moves. Ty Jerome (ankle) poses a significant risk to Pippen's role, however, and the two guards figure to engage in a battle for the top role at the point this fall. Pippen is looking to bounce back following an injury-ruined 2025-26 campaign, during which he averaged 11.4 points, 4.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 21.2 minutes per game across 10 regular-season appearances (six starts).

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Will miss rest of season
Pippen will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season after undergoing a sesamoidectomy to address ongoing discomfort in his right big toe, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports Friday.
Pippen had no return timetable after his initial injury diagnosis, and the Grizzlies have no incentive to rush him back, so shutting him down isn't surprising. It's unclear what Pippen's offseason will look like, but he should be back to full strength by training camp next season. He missed the beginning of the campaign after undergoing surgery on his left big toe, so Pippen will finish his third year in Memphis with averages of 11.4 points, 4.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals across only 10 appearances (six starts). He's under contract for at least one more season before a club option in 2027-28.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Requires surgery on toe
The Grizzlies announced Thursday that Pippen will undergo a sesamoidectomy to address discomfort in his right big toe and is without a timeline for a return.
The guard is expected to make a full recovery from the procedure, and while a timeline for his return hasn't been established, the non-contending Grizzlies will most likely hold him out for the remainder of the season. Pippen has been limited to just 10 appearances so far in 2025-26, after his season debut was delayed while he recovered from a October surgery on the big toe on his left foot. His absence should help open up extra opportunities in the backcourt for rookies Walter Clayton (ankle) and Javon Small.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Out again Thursday
Pippen (toe) is out for Thursday's game against Dallas.
Pippen will miss a third straight game, including his second in a row due to an injury that the Grizzlies are labeling as right great toe sesamoiditis. Before making his season debut in early February, the 25-year-old guard had previously missed time to begin the campaign while recovering from surgery on the great toe on his left foot. While the fact that Pippen's latest absence isn't being attributed to his surgically repaired toe is a welcome sign, the Grizzlies haven't indicated when he might be ready to resume playing.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Another absence coming
Pippen (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's against the 76ers.
Pippen had previously been sitting out one half of back-to-back sets due to left great toe injury management, but after missing Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets, he'll now be sidelined for a second straight game due to soreness in the great toe on his other foot. With Ty Jerome (calf) and Cedric Coward (knee) returning to action following maintenance days Monday, Pippen's absence won't necessarily free up more minutes for other players.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Downgraded to out
Pippen is out for Monday's game against the Nets due to right toe soreness.
As expected, the Grizzlies are downgrading Pippen from doubtful to out Monday. The expectation is that the guard will return to the lineup Tuesday, when Memphis takes on Philadelphia. Javon Small, Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton should each see plenty of playmaking opportunities for a Grizzlies team that has just eight active players Monday.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Doubtful for Monday
Pippen is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to right great toe soreness.
Pippen has played in seven of the team's last eight games, but he appears set to miss Monday's contest as he continues to nurse a toe injury. If he is officially ruled out, Javon Small, Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton could see expanded roles.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Not listed on injury report
Pippen (toe) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Clippers.
Pippen sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday, but he'll be back in action Saturday evening, along with Ty Jerome (calf). With both Pippen and Jerome active, Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Javon Small will likely see fewer minutes.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Won't play Wednesday
Pippen (toe) is out for Wednesday's game versus Portland.
Pippen will join Ty Jerome (calf) on the inactive list, so Cam Spencer, Javon Small and Walter Clayton figure to handle the point guard duties Wednesday evening. For now, Pippen can be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Unlikely to play Wednesday
Pippen (toe) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland.
The Grizzlies are expected to hold Pippen out of action for toe injury management. In his likely absence, Javon Small and Cam Spencer are in line to share the minutes at point guard Wednesday.
