Last season LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers had Scotty Pippen Jr. on their roster, the son of NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen.
The boy signed a two-way contract and spent most of the season on the affiliated team in the G-League, the South Bay Lakers. They did not re-sign him this offseason and no other NBA team took him. He played for the South Bay as a starter and, although he is no longer a Laker, his old teammate, LeBron James, is keeping an eye on his growth.
“Yes, Scotty!!! A real player! Let’s go, come on boy!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾”.
Yeah Scotty!!! Flat out hooper! Let’s Go Young Boi!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 https://t.co/Rp8hFhNZX7

As Scotty Pippen Jr. is a role player on the Lakers’ G League team, he is technically a free agent and any NBA team could sign him. LeBron James is certainly aware of his play this year. It’s possible that when NBA teams can start signing players to 10-day contracts in January, Pippen will be one of those given a chance.
Let’s see how Scotty Pippen Jr.’s future unfolds and whether he can return to play in the NBA with LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers.
