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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pippen will undergo a sesamoidectomy to address discomfort in his right big toe and is without a timeline for a return.

EDGE Analysis

The guard is expected to make a full recovery from the procedure, but a timeline for his return to play won't be established until afterward. The Grizzlies should continue to give the younger members of the backcourt opportunities to develop until the club manages to shake the injury bug.

Pippen (toe) is out for Thursday's game against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Pippen will miss a third straight game, though it's unclear if the Grizzlies are just giving him a rest day for the opening leg of a back-to-back set. With several other Memphis players sidelined, look for Cam Spencer (neck) and Javon Small to step up against the Mavericks.

Pippen (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pippen is out for Monday's game against the Nets due to right toe soreness.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pippen is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to right great toe soreness.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pippen (toe) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pippen (toe) is out for Wednesday's game versus Portland.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pippen (toe) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pippen provided 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 22 minutes during Friday's 124-105 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start in place of Ty Jerome (thigh), Pippen continued to be busy on defense while scoring in double digits for the fourth time in seven games (three starts) since making his season debut Feb. 6. Over that stretch, the fourth-year guard has averaged 11.3 points, 4.9 assists, 2.4 steals, 1.9 boards and 1.1 threes in 20.7 minutes.
