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