Pippen (toe) is listed doubtful for Wednesday's game against Sacramento.
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.
