While the broken hand Griffin suffered punching an equipment manager got most of the publicity, it’s a quad injury that has kept him out this long. There will undoubtedly be a period of rust – Griffin hasn’t played in a game since Christmas – and we’ll have to watch closely to see how much the quad affects him.
