Hot Takes on Lakers' Shareef O'Neal, Scotty Pippen Jr. vs. Suns

Tim DanielsJul 9, 2022

Scotty Pippen Jr. scored 19 points, but it wasn't enough for the Los Angeles Lakers in an NBA Summer League game against the Phoenix Suns, who scored a 104-84 victory Friday night in Las Vegas.

Pippen added four rebounds, three assists and three steals to his team-high point total, but he also turned the ball over five times in 24 minutes. Shareef O'Neal chipped in seven points and four boards for L.A., which shot just 34.6 percent from the field.

Both players are the sons of Basketball Hall of Fame fathers—Scottie Pippen and Shaquille O'Neal, who played for the Lakers from 1996 through 2004.
