Jonah Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) After experiencing some discomfort during his recently-accelerated rehabilitation program, Clippers’ forward Blake Griffin was examined Tuesday afternoon by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. As a result of that examination, it has been determined that the healing in his left patella area has not improved to the expected required level. Griffin will undergo a surgical procedure in the near future, with a recovery prognosis of four to six months. Team personnel will be made available to the media. Further details will be made available as events develop. via a PR from the Clippers Oh man, Do I feel bad for the Clippers right now.

La Bomba Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 The good thing is he doesn't have a history with injuries because I really don't want Griffin to turn into another Oden. I hope he makes a solid recovery because I was really excited to see him play in the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 So disappointing, I was looking forward to watching him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 All will be forgiven if he puts up at least 15 points and 10 rebounds next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 BUST! Griffin is a bust, no doubt about it in my mind! Sad to see him done before he started. I'm thinking he'll be injury prone for a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 If they tank and get the first pick, imagine Wall, Griffin, Kaman, and Gordon.....they have to think of doing this. The possibilities there...and they could trade Baron for a good forward to fit with that lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I wish he could re-enter the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I was hoping to see Griffin on the court this season, hopefully he gets back on track and stay healthy next season cause his going to have to work hard to prove that he isn't a bust.

JWaLL Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Knee injuries are the ultimate career killing injuries, we can only hope he bounces back to his true form after the surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 YoYou guys will still get to see Griffin play! His first name is Taylor though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
