Don’t worry Clippers fans. Blake Griffin is completely fine. Even though he pulled out of the USA World Cup invite. He will be ready for the upcoming NBA season and according to the LA Times is aiming to keep it that way.
It’s less than a hairline and my back is not fractured. Everything is still intact.
I can still come out here and I can do my workouts and I can do everything I used to do. I just shouldn’t be playing and practicing everyday this early.
My whole thing is that I didn’t want to go into [Clippers training] camp and put myself in a worse position.
It’s not that my back is broken and I’m walking around with a broken back, or I’m in so much pain.But if I start playing basically two months earlier than everybody else and then go through all of next season and the playoffs, then I’m probably going to put myself in a bad position. I couldn’t do that.
Blake has had his fair share of injuries but that hasn’t stopped him from becoming one of the best forwards in the game.
I’ll be honest. I was one of those people that thought he was only good for his dunks. But he is genuinely getting better and I can’t knock that.
