Blake Griffin will miss the first six weeks of the NBA season
Rookie power forward Blake Griffin will miss the first six weeks of the NBA season due to a stress fracture in his left kneecap. This is a huge blow to the Clippers who were depending on Griffin to be a force from day #1. Marcus Camby will be put back into the starting lineup until Griffin is ready to return. Craig Smith will also see a bump in playing time as he is a very, very underrated player. If anything were to happen to Camby or starting center Chris Kaman then Smith would finally get a chance to show what he can do as a starter. DeAndre Jordan will also see a increase in playing time as he will now be the #2 center behind Kaman until Griffin is ready to return. He has a nice upside too.
This is really going to hurt the Clippers as Griffin is one of those rookies who can make a big impact right away. He is so explosive and already has an NBA body. Unfortunate start to what should be a very good NBA career for Griffin. Looks like the curse of the Clippers continues…
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
We’ll see about a curse. The Clippers do still have a talented roster…..health will be the key. Still, they will miss Griffin who will really give them a boost when he returns to action.
