Scotty Pippen Jr. will undergo a procedure for a toe injury
Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. will undergo a procedure to address 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 alleviate “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 son of Chicago Bulls legend and Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen was not selected in the 2022 draft and 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, and he has averaged 10.5 points with 4.5 assists in 100 games with Memphis.
