Scotty Pippen Jr.’s mother, Larsa Pippen, and Grizzlies teammates react to his Instagram post
Scotty Pippen Jr. is having a solid season for the Memphis Grizzlies. Playing as a backup combo guard, he has helped his team to a 17-8 record, second in the Western Conference behind the OKC Thunder (19-5). Pippen is averaging 10.6 points, 5.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.
With the return of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart from injuries, Pippen is often overlooked in the success of the Grizzlies. He remains determined to prove his doubters wrong and wrote on Instagram:
“Work in silence and let your success be the noise 🎧”
Larsa Pippen, as she often does, reacted to her son's post with heart emojis.
Pippen’s Memphis Grizzlies teammates reacted as well. Ja Morant approved the post. GG Jackson wrote:
“Good s**t Scotty P🔥🔥”
Jaren Jackson Jr. tossed in his thoughts:
“Fatigue off”
Pippen’s younger brother joined with a clapping hands emoji. Jake LaRavia added:
“Yessir Scotty”

The Memphis Grizzlies do not have a game until Friday when they host the Brooklyn Nets. If Scotty Pippen Jr. posts something on Instagram, expect his mother to keep reacting to his social media engagement.
