Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. is expected to be sidelined for several weeks after suffering a herniated disc in his back.
The team has not provided an exact timetable for his return, but the injury is expected to keep him out of action for an extended period.
Pippen’s absence will leave Memphis without one of its backcourt rotation players as the team continues its regular-season schedule.
The Grizzlies will have to adjust their guard rotation while Pippen recovers, with other players expected to receive additional playing time.
Memphis has not announced when Pippen might be cleared to resume basketball activities.
