This June marked Scottie Pippen’s first Father’s Day since the unexpected death of his son Antron Pippen.

The Hall of Famer announced his son’s passing in an Instagram post in April. Pippen did not disclose a cause of death. Antron was 33.

Today, the six-time NBA champion is still working through the healing process.

“I’m good. I still have my moments of ups and downs, but I’m good,” Pippen told People in an interview published Wednesday.

“I will continue to gain strength because today there is none.”

Antron was Pippen’s first-born son. The Bulls icon is father to daughters Taylor and Sierra, both 26, and Sophia, 13, and sons Scotty Jr., 20, Preston, 19, and Justin, 16.

“There’s never enough time,” Pippen said about coping with the tragic loss. “But I’ve managed, and I’ll continue to heal.”

On his first Father’s Day without Antron, Pippen told the magazine he spent the holiday away from his kids. He was in his home state of Arkansas, where he had hosted a basketball camp at the Farris Center in Conway. 

“It was tough. I was kind of on the road. I did a camp back in Arkansas, so I wasn’t really around my kids,” he said, adding, “I spent it with my siblings in Arkansas.”

Pippen, though, did communicate with his children “on the phone.” Reflecting on the holiday, Pippen said, “But it was a great Father’s Day, I guess.”

In his social media post announcing his son’s passing in April, the “Unguarded” author said Antron lived with a medical condition.

“Antron suffered from chronic asthma,” Pippen wrote, adding, “He never let that get him down, though — Antron stayed positive and worked hard, and I am so proud of the man that he became.”

Pippen also wrote about the shared bond he and his oldest son had over basketball, and said Antron “would’ve made it to the NBA,” if not for the asthma.

“A kind heart and beautiful soul gone way too soon. I love you, son, rest easy until we meet again,” his post concluded.

Pippen has been on a media blitz as of late and made headlines this week when he accused his former Bulls coach Phil Jackson of being racist.
