Good to go against Charlotte Pippen (back) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.

Expected to play Wednesday Coach Taylor Jenkings said Pippen (back) should be available for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Iffy against Charlotte Pippen (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.
Impact Pippen is in danger of missing his 13th straight game Wednesday due to a bulging disc in his lower back. While the 23-year-old guard is reportedly close to returning, he will likely be on a minutes restriction early on.
MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Tuesday Pippen (back) will not play Tuesday against the Wizards.
Impact Pippen is still recovering from a bulging disc in his lower back, and he's said to be nearing a return. However, a specific timetable has yet to be announced, and the Grizzlies could err on the side of caution.
MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as doubtful Pippen (back) has ascended to doubtful in advance of Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Impact Pippen was set to be re-evaluated three weeks from Feb. 16 while dealing with a bulging disc in his lower back, although last Friday's re-evaluation date came without any formal update on the 23-year-old. His elevation to being listed as doubtful means that a return could be on the horizon, although disc issues can be pain-tolerance injuries, which makes estimating a specific return fickle.
MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE
Out at least three weeks The Grizzlies announced Friday that Pippen will be re-evaluated in three weeks after he was diagnosed with a bulging disc in his lower back following an MRI.
Impact Since joining Memphis on a two-way deal Jan. 16, Pippen had appeared in eight games (four starts) for the NBA club, averaging 10.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 22.6 minutes per contest. Despite his strong per-minute production, the Grizzlies had been prudent in deciding which games to keep him active; due to NBA rules for two-way players and the timing of his signing, Pippen is eligible to be active for 26 games for the rest of the season. The low-back injury Pippen suffered in Monday's win over the Rockets likely means that the Grizzlies won't have to manage his active games count as conservatively, but he'll nonetheless miss out on an opportunity to play meaningful minutes while Memphis contends with other injuries to key backcourt players. With Pippen, Marcus Smart (finger) and Ja Morant (shoulder) all sidelined, two-way player Jacob Gilyard, veteran Derrick Rose (ankle) and 10-day signee Jordan Goodwin now represent the Grizzlies' main options at point guard.

Remains sidelined Pippen (back) is out for Thursday's game versus the Bucks.
Impact Pippen will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to lower back soreness. His next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break on Feb. 23 against the Clippers.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Out for Wednesday Pippen will be inactive for Wednesday's game against Houston, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Pippen exited Monday's loss to New Orleans with lower back soreness, and the injury will sideline him Wednesday. Jacob Gilyard and new signee Jordan Goodwin are candidates to step up as primary ballhandlers, with Pippen's next opportunity to take the court coming Thursday versus Milwaukee.
FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with back soreness Pippen has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest against New Orleans due to lower back soreness.
Impact Pippen exited in the second half of Monday's game and was unable to return. Memphis assigned Jacob Gilyard to the G League on Monday, but he and John Konchar could lead the rotation as key ballhandlers if Pippen is unable to suit up Wednesday versus Houston.
FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against New Orleans Pippen is starting Monday's game against the Pelicans, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Pippen was inactive for Saturday's game against the Hornets due to a coach's decision, as the Grizzlies have been managing his workload as a two-way player. However, he'll join the starting lineup in his return to action Monday. Over his three starts this season, Pippen has averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 27.7 minutes per game.

Listed inactive for Saturday Pippen (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Pippen started Thursday's game against the Bulls and fared well with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes. Pippen is on a two-way contract, so the Grizzlies may simply be saving his eligible games.
FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE
Another strong showing Pippen registered 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-110 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Pippen has been trusted into a prominent role in recent games due to the team's lack of depth, as evidenced by the fact he's logged 20 or more minutes in five of his last six appearances, including making three starts in that span. Pippen is averaging 12.5 points, 4.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game across that six-game stretch.
FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against Chicago Pippen will be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Pippen will be one of nine available players for Memphis on Thursday, so he should get all the run he can handle. He's capable of putting up decent stat lines when given the minutes, so he could be someone to consider as a potential streamer.
FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Makes most of opportunity Pippen totaled 19 points (6-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 loss to the Celtics.
Impact With Memphis shorthanded again, Pippen got another opportunity to showcase his skill set. The two-way point guard has played at least 20 minutes four times this season and scored in double figures in each of those contests, averaging 14.0 points (51.4 percent from the field), 4.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 26.3 minutes per game. While Pippen has proven capable of fantasy-relevant production when given extended playing time, the 23-year-old will likely be relegated to the G League if the Grizzlies get healthier over the next few days.

Impact Pippen played his first minutes for the Grizzlies, fresh off signing a two-year, two-way contract earlier in the week. At this point, the Grizzlies are basically looking for production wherever they can find it. There is no reason to be adding Pippen but keep an eye on his playing time, especially as we move beyond the trade deadline.
