Scotty Pippen Jr. shared his perspective on the Grizzlies’ unfortunate injury troubles to start the 2023/24 season, attributing them to mere bad luck rather than any shortcomings in the team’s approach to health and fitness.
Having experienced different organizations, Pippen reassured that the Grizzlies are diligent in their preparation and injury prevention.
“I have been other places before, and over here, we are definitely taking care of our bodies,” Pippen said. “The trainers, everyone is on top of it. … A lot of these are just freak injuries.
“I don’t want to say it’s anything we are doing because everyone is in the weight room and everyone is taking care of their bodies – cold tub, hot tub, all of that.”
Pippen’s remarks reflect confidence in the Grizzlies’ medical staff and their commitment to ensuring players are physically prepared, reinforcing that sometimes injuries are simply unpredictable, no matter the precautions taken.
