Scotty Pippen Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. agreed to a four-year contract with the team. The 23-year-old spent time in the G League and the Los Angeles Lakers before ending up in Memphis last season. He appeared in 21 games for the Grizzlies, averaging 12.9 points and 4.7 assists. With Derrick Rose recently announcing his retirement, Pippen is now expected to operate as Ja Morant's backup this season. He'll likely make some appearances with the first five, giving him streaming potential at some point during the 2024-25 campaign.

Memphis Grizzlies guards John Konchar (heel) and Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) will play in Friday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Luke Kennard (personal), Lamar Stevens (groin), Desmond Bane (back) and Vince Williams Jr. (knee) have been ruled out. With Konchar and Pippen upgraded to active ahead of tip-off, they will see plenty of extra action with several Memphis players unable to suit up.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) will remain sidelined for Monday's meeting with the Kings. He couldn't play on Saturday versus OKC due to shin soreness and will continue to sit against Sacramento with the same issue. Pippen Jr. has played well when he's been available, but that hasn't happened too often lately. He had just missed a month of action with a back problem before hurting his left shin. With Desmond Bane now back in the lineup, there will be fewer opportunities for Pippen Jr., whose number of appearances has also been affected by his two-way contract.
