2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pippen has stepped up on numerous occasions over the past two seasons when Ja Morant has been unavailable. Across 27 starts, including the postseason, Pippen averaged 14.6 points, 5.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals while posting 49/43/81 shooting splits. Morant ended 2024-25 with a hip injury and has played in only 59 regular-season games over the past two years, but is expected to be healthy for 2025-26. The Grizzlies also swapped Desmond Bane for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and added Ty Jerome on a sizable deal this offseason. Pippen won't have guaranteed usage, so it'll be difficult for him to replicate the production from his breakout campaign. However, the youngster averaged 19.3 minutes as a reserve last season (58 games), so he should at least be part of the rotation when everyone is available. Pippen underwent a procedure to address a left big toe injury at the end of training camp and will miss the first three months of the season. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Scotty Maurice Pippen Jr. was born in Portland, Oregon in November of 2000. At the time, his Hall of Fame father, Scottie Pippen, was playing for the Trail Blazers. Scotty Jr.'s mother is Larsa and he has three siblings. From kindergarten through the tenth grade, Pippen attended Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His family moved to Los Angeles before Pippen's high school junior season, which led Pippen to transfer to Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth. At Sierra Canyon, Pippen was teammates with future NBA players Marvin Bagley III, Cassius Stanley and Kenyan Martin Jr. As a senior, Pippen posted 16.3 points, 3.6 boards and 4.6 dimes per game and was named to the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Daily News All-Area teams. Pippen then committed to play college ball at Vanderbilt University. As a freshman Commodore in 2019-20, Pippen started 31 of 32 games and delivered 12.0 points, 2.8 boards and 3.6 assists over 30 minutes per contest. When Vandy lost Aaron Nesmith and Saben Lee to the NBA, Pippen took more of a leadership role as a sophomore. He upped his numbers in 2020-21 to 20.8 points and 4.9 assists in 22 starts, before a hip injury forced him to miss games late in the season. Pippen returned to Vanderbilt for his junior season, delivered similar stats and was named to both the coaches and AP All-SEC first team while also making the SEC Academic Honor Roll. In April of 2022, Pippen declared himself eligible for the upcoming NBA Draft, but was not selected. He then signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Downgraded to out
GMemphis Grizzlies
Toe
March 9, 2026
Pippen is out for Monday's game against the Nets due to right toe soreness.
ANALYSIS
As expected, the Grizzlies are downgrading Pippen from doubtful to out Monday. The expectation is that the guard will return to the lineup Tuesday, when Memphis takes on Philadelphia. Javon Small, Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton should each see plenty of playmaking opportunities for a Grizzlies team that has just eight active players Monday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for big role off bench
GMemphis Grizzlies
October 14, 2024
Pippen is mentioned as one of several role players who could outperform expectations in the 2024-25 season, according to John Hollinger of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Pippen was expected to battle it out with Derrick Rose for the backup point guard role behind Ja Morant, but since Rose retired, Pippen is expected to play a prominent role off the bench. He showed flashes of his talent in the G League in 2023-24 and was among the standout performers in the 2024 NBA 2K25 Summer League, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to deliver consistently in the NBA. Pippen's play off the bench could be the difference between making the playoffs and featuring in the Play-In Tournament for a Grizzlies team that's looking to bounce back in 2024-25.
