NBA: Clippers fear severe Griffin injury

The Los Angeles Clippers are worried about their star Blake Griffin. In the game against the Lakers he twisted his knee and could not walk anymore.

The incident occurred 4:43 minutes before the end of the fight for the ball. Griffin’s team mate Austin Rivers fell to the Power Foward’s left knee, which then buckled away.

Although he got back on his feet and even played the following Possession of his team, he had to be replaced and accompanied into the cabin. According to Austin Rivers, Blake first said he was okay – but then, according to Rivers, he could not walk anymore.

Coach Doc Rivers said after the game:”That didn’t look good. But we have to wait for the results of the investigation. Meanwhile, Griffin had been quite depressed.

If he was seriously injured, this would be the next serious blow for the clippers. Patrick Beverley (knee, season out), Milos Teodosic (heel, return unknown) and Danilo Gallinari (buttock muscle, missing since 10 games) are already painfully absent from the team.
