Griffin, already on the rebound from a quadriceps injury, punched the team’s assistant equipment manager Matias Testi in late January resulting in a broken hand.
Griffin has since had two different procedures to repair the hand and has spent an extended period of time away from the team during the healing process. His timetable to return on the court is still unknown although it looks like he will rejoin the club after the all-star break.
On a positive spin for the city of Los Angeles, the pay Griffin will be docked will be donated to helping disadvantaged youths in the area.
A statement has been released by the Clippers, this can be read below.
