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.

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.

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.

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.
