Blake Griffin OUT for Remainder of Postseason

Blake Griffin

Crisis strikes again for the Los Angeles Clippers. Blake Griffin will miss the postseason (again) with a toe injury he obtained in Friday night’s game vs. the Jazz.

This will put the Clippers under a lot of pressure, especially with the news coming just hours after their first victory of the first round.

According to ESPN.com, Blake Griffin has suffered an injury to the plantar plate of his right big toe in the first half Friday and did not return to the game.

If you remember, it was this time last year that Blake Griffin suffered a quad injury that kept him out of the Clippers’ series vs. the Trail Blazers.

A lot of the responsibility will now fall to Chris Paul, who was undoubtedly the star of last night’s game. He said this post-game about Griffin (per ESPN):

“One of the biggest adjustments is, we probably won’t be able to play through the post so much,” Paul said. “He’s such a dynamic player. We go to him in the post, and we cut and move off him. … He’s our other assist guy.

“Just his leadership, it’s just a different feeling when he’s on the court.”

What do you think, Clipper fans? Is this par for the course at this point? Or were you hopeful it would be different this season? Let us know!
