Tue Apr 15 | 09:18 | Scotty Pippen Jr. Good To Go Against Warriors |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (back) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. The 24-year-old missed Sunday's action against the Dallas Mavericks due to low back soreness, but Memphis has not included Pippen Jr. on the injury report for Tuesday. Pippen Jr. finished the regular season strongly and should be full of confidence ahead of the postseason, having averaged 13.2 points and 4.2 assists for the month. Golden State boasts the fifth-best defensive record in the league against opposing benches, so Pippen Jr.'s form will receive a stern test on Tuesday night. |

Wed Mar 19 | 21:28 | Scotty Pippen Jr. Active On Wednesday |
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (wrist) will be back in the lineup on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is good to go again after missing Monday's tilt against the Sacramento Kings due to a sore left wrist. With Ja Morant (hamstring) on the shelf, Pippen Jr. could take on a significant role in Wednesday's matchup. He has averaged 12.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 5.8 assists this season in games without Morant. Pippen Jr.'s return will probably lead to Desmond Bane, who posted a season-high 44 points on Monday, being less involved in the offense. Luke Kennard will also lose fantasy value. |

Mon Mar 17 | 21:39 | Scotty Pippen Jr. Out Against Kings |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (wrist) will be inactive against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. He is nursing a sore left wrist and has been ruled out for the contest after initially being considered questionable. Pippen Jr. has been among Memphis' most durable players and will be out for only the second time this season. Ja Morant (hamstring) is also sidelined, so the Grizzlies' backcourt will primarily depend on Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard. Additionally, Vince Williams Jr. may see an uptick in minutes off the bench. |

Sun Mar 16 | 20:41 | Scotty Pippen Jr. Listed As Questionable For Monday |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It appears Pippen suffered a left wrist injury during Saturday's contest. Despite that, Pippen finished with 11 points, six rebounds, and 11 assists across 29 minutes of action. Fellow guard Ja Morant (hamstring) has already been ruled out, so Pippen should see an extended look once again, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Luke Kennard and Desmond Bane could be asked to play significant minutes if both Morant and Pippen are out. |

Tue Mar 4 | 22:22 | Scotty Pippen Jr. Uncertain To Play On Wednesday |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with OKC. Ja Morant (shoulder) is also questionable, so Pippen could be in line for more work versus the best team in the National Basketball Association. However, if Morant and Pippen are sidelined, Luke Kennard, who had 17 points, seven boards, and two steals in Monday's loss to the Hawks, should handle things at the one. With Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) week-to-week, Kennard would be a must-start if Morant and Pippen aren't on the floor. |

Tue Oct 15 2024 | 19:44 | Scotty Pippen Jr., Grizzlies Agree To A Four-Year Deal |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. agreed to a four-year contract with the team. The 23-year-old spent time in the G League and the Los Angeles Lakers before ending up in Memphis last season. He appeared in 21 games for the Grizzlies, averaging 12.9 points and 4.7 assists. With Derrick Rose recently announcing his retirement, Pippen is now expected to operate as Ja Morant's backup this season. He'll likely make some appearances with the first five, giving him streaming potential at some point during the 2024-25 campaign. |

Mon Mar 18 2024 | 10:02 | Scotty Pippen Jr. Misses Second Consecutive Game |
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) will remain sidelined for Monday's meeting with the Kings. He couldn't play on Saturday versus OKC due to shin soreness and will continue to sit against Sacramento with the same issue. Pippen Jr. has played well when he's been available, but that hasn't happened too often lately. He had just missed a month of action with a back problem before hurting his left shin. With Desmond Bane now back in the lineup, there will be fewer opportunities for Pippen Jr., whose number of appearances has also been affected by his two-way contract. |

Fri Mar 15 2024 | 19:50 | Scotty Pippen Jr. Questionable To Face Thunder |
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) is questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City. After being out for a month with a back problem, Pippen Jr. made his return to the lineup in Wednesday's clash with Charlotte, but he's picked up a new ailment. The 23-year-old has landed on the injury report with left shin soreness. Pippen Jr. filled the box score with nine points, four rebounds, 10 assists, one block, and two steals on Wednesday. He's done well for the Grizzlies, but the injury issues hold him back, and the return of Desmond Bane (ankle) won't be good news for him either. |

Wed Mar 13 2024 | 19:48 | Scotty Pippen Jr. Returning To Action On Wednesday |
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (back) has been cleared to return to action on Wednesday versus Charlotte. The 23-year-old hasn't played since Feb. 14, recovering from a lumbar disc bulge. Pippen Jr. has put in a few promising performances, averaging 10.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4.5 in eight games he has played with the Grizzlies. However, he hasn't had a regular role in the rotation, which makes him a risky fantasy choice. |

Mon Oct 16 2023 | 22:25 | Scotty Pippen Jr. Waived By Lakers |
Los Angeles Lakers guard Scotty Pippen Jr. has been waived by the organization on Monday. The Lakers decided to move on from Damion Baugh, and Vincent Valerio-Bodon as well. However, Pippen is the most notably considering he's the son of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen. It's possible that these three come back and join the Lakers' G-League team. None of them are expected to have an impact on fantasy basketball. |
