Clippers’ Blake Griffin To Have Season-Ending Knee Surgery

And why shouldn’t they? With all the other bad stuff that has happened to this franchise, Clipper fans have to give themselves some reason to not jump off the ledge.

Thankfully, SB Nation’s Clippers blog Clips Nation is there to provide that.

Remember way back on draft day, when there were so many people joking that Blake Griffin’s going to be in trouble because he was drafted by the cursed Clippers? Maybe there’s actually something to that curse.

The Clippers announced that Griffin will undergo season-ending surgery on the left patella tendon in his knee, the same injury that was originally only supposed to sideline him for six weeks back in October.

For SBN’s Clippers blog, Clips Nation, it feels like deja vu all over again; a promising young talent sucked into the injury vortex. From Clips Nation:

The Clipper certainly don’t want to rush Griffin back to the court and risk further injury, but the bigger question for Clippers fans is what does this mean for the team’s outlook for the season? Again, from Clips Nation:

SBN’s Clips Nation confronts the injury head on:

All good thoughts, but careful, there… We don’t want to want to jinx Eric Gordon, too.
