Justin Pippen, son of basketball legend Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen, celebrated a significant milestone on Saturday as he graduated from Sierra Canyon high school. Surrounded by his loved ones, including his proud parents and siblings, Justin’s graduation ceremony was a family affair.
Taking to Instagram, Scottie expressed his pride in his son, saying, “Proud dad moment! Congrats, son!”
Larsa echoed the sentiment, flooding her Instagram stories with moments captured from her son’s graduation.

In April, Justin Pippen announced his commitment to the Michigan Wolverines, choosing them over other prestigious options like Cal, Florida, Stanford, and Texas A&M. Speaking about his decision with ESPN, he revealed his aspiration to fulfill his NBA dreams with the support of Michigan’s renowned program.
“I like the feel of the campus and school,” Pippen said. “I wanted to be at a big school. They can help me reach my end goal of making the NBA.”
He continued, “I was really going to make a decision between my other schools. Then I got a call from Coach Dusty May. I wanted to give him a chance. We set up a Zoom call. I went on a visit, and I felt it was the right place and situation for me. Coach Dusty May has been straight up with me. He sees me playing both on and off the ball. He even mentioned they are bringing in other guys.”
The 19-year-old also shared that his family fully supported his decision to attend Michigan. “They let me make my own decision,” he said. “They know it’s great academically.”
