Date Nights in Paris Are Long Gone as Larsa Pippen Switches to Mom Mode for Son’s Impressive NBA Gig

Larsa Pippen is juggling different responsibilities at this point. The 49-year-old shared some interesting updates on her trip to Paris with her boyfriend Marcus Jordan on Instagram. Fans expected it to be a long trip, but Larsa wanted to fulfill her duty as a mother, too. Well, she had to return to Miami to celebrate her son Scotty Pippen Jr’s return to the NBA. The 23-year-old was recently signed by the Memphis Grizzlies for a two-year deal and he has already started to prove his worth there.

Larsa’s last few stories shared some stunning pictures of her with Marcus in Paris. Cutting her trip short, she was at the Kaseya Center to support her son’s game against the Miami Heat. The Grizzlies are out of guards, with Ja Morant and Derrick Rose benched. They had hired Scotty a week ago and today he dropped 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists in a 9-point win against the Heat.

Scotty Pippen Jr. previously played for the Los Angeles Lakers. He played six games in the 2022-23 season, and hardly got any minutes on the court. Right before the start of the regular season this year, the Lakers waived him along with two other bench players and he eventually joined the South Bay Lakers once again and averaged nearly 20 points in the five games he played.

To fill the Grizzlies’ urgent need for a guard, he has now signed a two-year, two way contract. He is expected to play a bigger role than before and we might see more of him in the upcoming games. This will be the perfect chance for him to make his mark in the league.

Larsa Pippen has been a pillar of support for Scotty Pippen’s basketball career

This is not the first time the 49-year-old is attending games live. She was at the UCLA health training facility last year along with Michael Jordan‘s son to cheer for Pippen Jr. Surprisingly Scottie Pippen was at the game too. Ignoring each other, the two were there to show love to the Grizzlies guard.
