NZ all-rounder Phillips out of Zimbabwe tour with injury
Phillips, who suffered the injury during the Major League Cricket final in Dallas, would require "a number of weeks" to recover, New Zealand Cricket said in a statement.
The 28-year-old will miss the tri-series, also involving South Africa, and the subsequent two-test series against hosts Zimbabwe.
New Zealand are already without batter Finn Allen, who was ruled out of the tri-series with a foot injury suffered in the MLC.
"It's obviously disappointing to lose someone of Glenn's calibre," head coach Rob Walter said.
"Much like Finn, we really feel for Glenn and that he misses out on this series.
"We know he was eager to get out on the field for the Blackcaps and unfortunately, he won't be able to do that for this series.
"We know he'll work hard to get himself back onto the park, and I look forward to when that happens."
Phillips' replacement in the test squad will be named later, the NZC added.

I'm 100 per cent sure I couldn't make it as a professional golfer
Gareth Bale admitted he was '100 per cent sure' that he could not become a professional golfer. The former Real Madrid and Wales star is well known for his love of golf and has cut his handicap from 'three or four' to just 0.1 since retiring from football in January 2023. That has led to suggestions that Bale – who has played on the PGA Tour at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am where footage of him making a brilliant chip from a cart path went viral – could try and make it as a professional golfer, despite having turned 36 earlier this month. 'I'm fully, 100 per cent sure, I can not make it professionally,' Bale told BBC Wales ahead of this week's AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl. 'When you are in golf and you see professional golfers play, compared to even your best stuff, it is nowhere near. 'When I've played with those players and watched them, you really appreciate how good they actually are. 'Never mind just playing with your friends, they are doing it under the most severe pressure, in tournament conditions, in hard weather. 'So there won't be any professional (golf) for me. 'But I love the game. I love watching it, I love growing it.'
