Wed Apr 16 03:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Michigan Basketball Loses Freshman Guard Justin Pippen to Transfer Portal
**ANN ARBOR, MI** – Just over a year after head coach Dusty May revitalized the Michigan Wolverines basketball program with a wave of new recruits and transfers, the team is facing an early setback. Freshman point guard Justin Pippen, son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen, has entered the transfer portal, according to 247Sports.
Pippen, who missed significant time due to injury, will be seeking a new program after the first day of the spring transfer portal opening. While his departure thins the Wolverines’ point guard depth, the team may be well-positioned to cope with the loss. LJ Cason, a rising star, showed significant promise at the point guard position during the recent NCAA Tournament and is expected to fill the void. The impact of Pippen’s transfer on Michigan’s upcoming season remains to be seen.
