Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin has been out with a quadriceps injury and was expected to return to the lineup during their current road trip. He won’t be back anytime soon however after injuring his right hand after hitting a member of the team’s equipment staff during an argument.
According to the ESPN sources, Griffin and the equipment staffer got into an argument in a restaurant during the team’s trip to Toronto. Griffin hit the man, who then left the restaurant and went outside. Griffin followed him outside and hit him again.
The equipment staffer’s face was injured and he was treated at a local hospital, sources told Eaves. Both Griffin and the equipment staffer were sent home after the incident.
Sources told ESPN that the hand injury is expected to keep Griffin out “a matter of weeks, as opposed to days.”
Wow, really bad move on Griffin’s part.
