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.

'The Wallabies defensively have been so passive'
Matt Dawson, 1997, 2001 & 2005 Lions tourist, on BBC Radio 5 Live: "It's a rugby IQ thing, watch that [Hugo Keenan] try back and how many Wallabies players cluster around that ruck?"You could throw a towel over six of them, which gives the space for Keenan."The Wallabies defensively have been so passive in this series. They have been absorb, absorb, absorb and no-one gets over that ball."
