Scotty Pippen Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Competing for top point guard role Pippen (toe) has a chance to begin the new year as Memphis' starting point guard after Portland acquired Ja Morant in a trade with the Grizzlies earlier this offseason.

Impact Pippen will have to gain clearance ahead of training camp after undergoing a toe procedure in March, but he certainly appears to be a winner of the team's offseason moves. Ty Jerome (ankle) poses a significant risk to Pippen's role, however, and the two guards figure to engage in a battle for the top role at the point this fall. Pippen is looking to bounce back following an injury-ruined 2025-25 campaign, during which he averaged 11.4 points, 4.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 21.2 minutes per game across 10 regular-season appearances (six starts).

Scotty Pippen Jr.'s injury complicates Grizzlies' guard logjam even more Scotty Pippen Jr.'s season-ending injury leaves the Grizzlies' future backcourt even more complicated.

MARCH 13 • BEALESTREETBEARS.COM

Will miss rest of season Pippen will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing a sesamoidectomy to address ongoing discomfort in his right big toe, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports Friday.

Impact Pippen was without a return timetable after initially being diagnosed with the injury, which was likely related to the surgery that caused him to miss the beginning of the campaign. The Grizzlies have no incentive to rush him back, so this move isn't surprising. It's unclear what Pippen's offseason will look like, but he should be back to full strength by training camp next season. He'll finish his third campaign in Memphis with averages of 11.4 points, 4.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals across 10 appearances (six starts).

Return timeline uncertain Pippen will undergo a sesamoidectomy to address discomfort in his right big toe and is without a timeline for a return.

Impact The guard is expected to make a full recovery from the procedure, but a timeline for his return to play won't be established until afterward. The Grizzlies should continue to give the younger members of the backcourt opportunities to develop until the club manages to shake the injury bug.
