Griffin out for the rest of the season
Quote:
Clippers rookie Blake Griffin's season is over. Then again, it never really started for the star-crossed Clipper.
The Clippers announced today that the power forward experienced some "discomfort in his recently accelerated rehabilitation program" and will require knee surgery, meaning he will be out for four to six months.
The No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft last summer*suffered a stress fracture in his left kneecap in the Clippers' final preseason game in October, and had only recently been cleared to increased his workload, late last month. The Clippers had hoped he would soon be able to practice.
The team said, in a statement: "It has been determined that the healing in his left patella area has not improved to the expected required level."
Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy said: "Obviously it's disappointing for Blake, and for us, because of the impact we think he could have had on our team. The most important thing we've considered, obviously, is how we get him healthy for the long term."
