I didn’t get to watch the Orlando game but saw in the box score that Pippen didn’t play … was there any mention of why on the broadcast ???

Really hoping that he might end up being an answer to a 3rd PG option moving forward …. Love Gilyard, but 5-9 only goes so far … Hoping Pippen can give shooting , paint point and defensive capability ….

Pippin and Gilyard are both on 2-way contracts. They can only play a certain number of games. I don't know the formula used by the NBA, but Pippen can apparently only play 26 more games because of the pro-rated formula used. I'm guessing their games will be split so only one of them is available each game.

I think pippen will be playing for the hustle tonight

I saw a boneheaded story headline:
Pippen, JR Excited About Getting Shot in Memphis

That's gotta be intentional. Or a joke. Right?

Thx…. That’s gotta be it with the pro-rated formula…

I wonder, is there any chance Pippen Jr. hits a late growth spurt like his dad did....he might be too old now though.

50 games is the limit on a two way, that is why Gilliard fell out of the rotation so suddenly

23 going on 24 yeah growing is over for him. It is interesting that men still grow until 21. I grew 3 inches after highschool.
