Off injury report
Pippen (toe) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analyse
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. He will return to the lineup Monday after recording 13 points, six assists, three rebounds and a steal in 22 minutes in his season debut Friday.

Ruled out Saturday
Pippen (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Portland.
Analyse
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 (toe) contributed 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's 135-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analyse
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. With Ja Morant (elbow) facing an uncertain timeline for a return, Pippen appears likely to split minutes at point guard with Ty Jerome (calf) in games where both players are available. Jerome sat out Friday's contest, but he'll likely return to action Saturday in Portland. Pippen, meanwhile, is likely to be rested for that game coming off the long-term absence.

Starting in 2025-26 debut
Pippen is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
Analyse
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.
7. Februar 2026
Available Friday
Pippen (toe) is available for Friday's game against Portland.
Analyse
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.

Questionable for Friday
Pippen (toe) is questionable for Friday's game in Portland.
Analyse
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.
Analyse
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.
4. Februar 2026
Unlikely to go Wednesday
Pippen (toe) is listed doubtful for Wednesday's game against Sacramento.
Analyse
Wednesday marks the first time all season that Pippen hasn't immediately been listed as out in advance of a game, which signals that he's closing in on making his season debut. While there's a good chance he'll be ruled out prior to Wednesday's matchup, Pippen could have a realistic shot at debuting Friday in Portland. Ty Jerome has thrived as the Grizzlies' starting point guard in two games since making his season debut, but Pippen could be in line for a sizable role of his own out of the Memphis backcourt once healthy, at least until Memphis gets Ja Morant (elbow) back in action.
