Scotty Pippen Jr. expected to miss several weeks with injury

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 established an exact timetable for his return, but the back injury will keep the backcourt contributor out for an extended period during the regular season.

With Pippen unavailable, Memphis will need to adjust its guard rotation as other players take on expanded minutes. The Grizzlies have not yet announced when Pippen will be cleared to resume basketball activities.
