In the semifinal clash, Pippen Jr. racked up 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. While his overall field goal percentage was 5-of-15, he managed to drain 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. The 23-year-old player orchestrated the game brilliantly, helping Memphis to withstand a late surge from the Clippers. Jaylen Wells topped the scoring chart for Memphis with 28 points, with six of them being three-pointers, whereas G.G. Jackson added 20 points. Grizzlies’ newbies, Zach Edey and Cam Spencer, did not participate in the game.
The young talent, who is the progeny of NBA legend Scottie Pippen, has been with the NBA since he went undrafted from Vanderbilt in 2022. He spent the majority of the 2022-23 season and some part of the 2023-24 season with the South Bay Lakers, the G-League affiliate of the Los Angeles Lakers. In January 2024, he was signed by the Grizzlies under a two-way contract.
