Griffin missed a game against the Pelicans last weekend due to the knee, and was listed as questionable for following games, though he did not miss any time. Griffin played well despite his right knee injury and has posted impressive shooting numbers his last four games — three of which were wins.
Although it’s a concern any time a team’s star player gets hurt and undergoes surgery, one piece of good news for Clippers fans is that this injury is to Griffin’s right leg, not the left one that knocked him out of the postseason last year.
