Scotty Pippen Jr. put together another
solid all-around performance Friday night to help the Los Angeles
Lakers score a 102-94 win over the New Orleans Pelicans as part of
the 2022 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
Pippen, the son of Hall of Fame forward
Scottie Pippen, recorded 11 points, seven assists, three rebounds,
three steals and a block in 22 minutes. He did struggle with his
shot, however, knocking down just four of his 12 field-goal attempts.
Here’s a look at some of the social-media reaction to his latest Summer League outing:

Scotty Pippen Jr. no-look dime … with his dad on the call ????<a href=”https://twitter.com/spippenjr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>@spippenjr</a> | <a href=”https://twitter.com/ScottiePippen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>@ScottiePippen</a> <a href=”https://t.co/GSJtYfkhIx”>pic.twitter.com/GSJtYfkhIx</a>
Pippen is now averaging 12.0 points, 5.3
assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 steals while shooting 33.3 percent from
the field in four games. The 21-year-old Vanderbilt product signed a
two-way contract with Los Angeles on July 1.
Undrafted free-agent signing Cole
Swider led the way for L.A. with 21 points and six rebounds, while
second-round pick Max Christie chipped in 12 points and four boards.
The Lakers improved to 2-2 in Vegas
with Friday’s victory. The Pelicans, who still had an outside shot at
reaching the championship game before the loss, also dropped to 2-2.
L.A. will be right back in action Saturday
night when it battles the Dallas Mavericks (0-4). New Orleans returns
to the floor Sunday to face off with the Oklahoma City Thunder (3-1).
This year’s NBA Summer League wraps up Sunday
night.
