Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Career-best effort in Game 4 loss
Rotowire
Pippen provided 30 points (9-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 117-115 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Ja Morant (hip) sidelined, the Grizzlies had little chance of avoiding a sweep, but Pippen very nearly kept his team alive with a career-best scoring effort and his first career playoff double-double. The third-year guard put together back-to-back huge efforts to close out Memphis' campaign, as he makes a case to be more than just a rotational option in 2025-26.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Lands career-high six triples
Rotowire
Pippen logged 28 points (8-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Pippen got the Grizzlies off to a tremendous start, connecting on four three-pointers in the first quarter. He ended with six triples, a career-best mark for the young guard. Ja Morant left the game late in the second quarter after taking a hard spill, with his availability for the next game in some doubt. Should Morant ultimately be ruled out, look for Pippen to once again step into a much larger role as Memphis looks to extend the series to five games.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Poor shooting in loss
Rotowire
Pippen accumulated 13 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Pippen had a second straight rough game in the shooting department, as he's now gone 5-for-21 from the field during the first two games of this playoff series. The Vanderbilt product was one of five players for Memphis to score in double figures, but it was nowhere near enough to help propel the team to victory, resulting in a 2-0 deficit heading into Game 3.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Poor shooting in loss
Rotowire
Pippen recorded two points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 131-80 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Pippen was one of many players on the Grizzlies who had an off night in Game 1 against the Thunder. The talented guard went 1-for-9 from the field Sunday, as he was unable to get anything going in an embarrassing 51-point loss in Oklahoma City.
Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Scores nine points in loss
Rotowire
Pippen supplied nine points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game loss to Golden State.
Ja Morant tweaked his ankle in the loss, though the star guard insists he won't miss any time. However, if Morant's ankle gets the best of him, Pippen could be forced into a much larger role for the Grizzlies. Pippen is coming off a strong regular season, posting averages of 9.9 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 three-pointers across 79 appearances.

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

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).

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Out Sunday
Rotowire
Pippen (back) won't play Sunday against the Mavericks.
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.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Doubtful to play Sunday
Rotowire
Pippen is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to low back soreness.
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.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Reverting back to bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Pippen won't start in Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
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).

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Starting over Morant
Rotowire
Pippen is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
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.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Provides spark off bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Struggles in loss
Rotowire
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.
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).

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