The injury bug and the Memphis Grizzlies are married at this point. The team announced today that reserve guard Scotty Pippen Jr. will undergo a procedure on his toe that limited him to one preseason game, and it will keep him out for at least 12 weeks. This news followed Ty Jerome's calf injury that limited him to four minutes in their final preseason game on Friday night.
Ironically, it feels like the team already prepared for this moment when they drafted rookie point guard Javon Small with the 48th pick of the 2025 NBA Draft.
