Scotty Pippen Jr. will undergo a procedure for a toe injury
Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. will undergo surgery due to an injury to his left big toe, the team announced on Saturday. He will be re-evaluated in 12 weeks.
The Grizzlies reported that Pippen will undergo a sesamoidectomy to treat “persistent discomfort” and is expected to make a full recovery.
Pippen Jr. started in 21 games with the Grizzlies last season, averaging 9.9 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.3 rebounds.
The player, son of the Chicago Bulls legend and Hall of Fame member, Scottie Pippen, was not selected in the 2022 draft after his time at Vanderbilt. He spent his rookie season on a dual contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, participating in six games.
The Grizzlies signed the point guard to a dual contract in January 2024. In 100 games with Memphis, he has averaged 10.5 points and 4.5 assists.
