Scottie Pippen Jr. Nba Triple Double Memphis Grizzlies

Scottie Pippen Jr., the son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen, made history by achieving his first NBA triple-double in a recent game. Playing for the Memphis Grizzlies, Pippen Jr. contributed significantly to the team’s victory over the Washington Wizards. This milestone is a notable achievement for the young player, who has been making strides in his NBA career despite going undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft[3][5].

Pippen Jr.’s performance included a balanced display of scoring, rebounding, and playmaking, highlighting his versatility on the court. His achievement has garnered attention and praise from fans and analysts alike, including his mother, Larsa Pippen, who expressed her pride and admiration for his accomplishment on social media[1].

The 23-year-old guard, who stands at 6-1 and weighs 170 pounds, has had a journey marked by perseverance. After going undrafted, he signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers and later moved to the Memphis Grizzlies, where he has found more consistent playing time. His recent contract extension with the Grizzlies is a testament to his growing importance to the team[5].

Pippen Jr.’s game against the Wizards not only showcased his individual talent but also underscored his ability to fit into a team dynamic. His performance has sparked discussions about his potential to follow in his father’s footsteps as a significant contributor in the NBA[3].

In addition to his on-court achievements, Pippen Jr. has also made headlines for his defensive skills, including a notable play where he stole the ball from LeBron James, as highlighted by Memphis Grizzlies player Desmond Bane[2].
