At this time it is not known the extent of the injury but it comes as bad news for the Clippers. Griffin was already dealing with a quadricep injury and was nearing a return when this happen.
Los Angeles was looking forward to having their star power forward back next week but it looks as if that return will be delayed. Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, and J.J. Redick will have to continue the load while Griffin is out.
Los Angeles will have to figure out a way to make due without Griffin for a little while longer.
