Pippen (back) is off the injury report for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Pippen missed the club's regular-season finale in Sunday's win over the Mavericks due to low back soreness, though he's set to return for Tuesday's Play-In Game. The 24-year-old has averaged 13.3 points, 5.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 25.5 minutes per game in his last 10 outings (three starts).

Pippen (back) won't play Sunday against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Pippen has been downgraded from doubtful to out, along with most of the Grizzlies' regulars. There's been no indication that the backup point guard won't be available for the Play-In Tournament, though Memphis' opponent is to be determined.

Pippen is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to low back soreness.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies have already locked up a spot in the Play-In Tournament, so there's no point in risking some of their regular rotation members. The doubtful tag suggests Pippen might not play, and if he ends up being ruled out, Cam Spencer, John Konchar and Vince Williams could see more time in the backcourt. Other players such as Luke Kennard (knee), Desmond Bane (groin) and Ja Morant (shoulder) are also carrying doubtful tags.

Pippen won't start in Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old point guard will retreat to the bench due to Ja Morant (illness) returning from a one-game absence. Pippen has averaged 12.6 points, 4.0 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 22.8 minutes per contest in his last five outings (one start).

Pippen is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ja Morant was announced as a starter roughly 30 minutes before the 7 p.m. ET tipoff, but he was later ruled out with an illness, and now, Pippen will get the nod over him instead. In 20 starts this season, Pippen is averaging 14.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.7 steals across 26.6 minutes per game.

Pippen posted 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, seven assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 110-108 victory over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Pippen was Memphis' leading bench scorer while tallying a team-high seven assists during Tuesday's victory. Pippen has proven to be one of the league's most productive backup point guards recently, as he has averaged 13.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 24.9 minutes across his previous 10 outings. The 24-year-old guard has also posted 53.2/52.8/82.4 shooting splits over that span.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 in his last seven games. Most of that production came when Ja Morant was sidelined, as Pippen has totaled just 35 minutes off the bench in the past two games after averaging 27.3 minutes per contest over his prior nine appearances (three starts).

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Pippen was impressive in his third straight start due to the absence of Ja Morant (hamstring), and the former continues to show he can handle a bigger role in the rotation when needed. Pippen is having an absolute career-best season in 2024-25. 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 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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
