Scotty Pippen Jr. to Undergo Surgery, Out at Least 12 Weeks
Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) will undergo surgery on his left big toe and will be re-evaluated in 12 weeks. The 24-year-old averaged 9.9 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.3 steals in 79 appearances last season. While he wasn't a day-to-day producer, he played considerably better in his 21 starts by averaging 14.2 points, 5.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.7 steals while shooting 46.1% from behind the arc. At this point, it's realistic to assume Pippen may not be back on the court until around the All-Star break, making him virtually irrelevant for redraft participants. However, his absence should at least open the door for increased production from Ty Jerome, with the former Cleveland Cavalier benefiting even more if Ja Morant, who has battled injuries over the years, misses time this season.
