Lands career-high six triples 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...

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.
