According to Brad Turner of the LA Times, the LA Clippers’ star forward, Blake Griffin, had a foul upgraded to a Flagrant 1 over the weekend. The foul occurred during Friday’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Griffin apparently raised his leg and kicked Cavs’ forward Jae Crowder in the groin, a-la Draymond Green. You can see the foul occur in the video below.
A Flagrant 1 won’t prevent Blake from missing any game time. The NBA defines a flagrant 1 as follows:
Flagrant “1” (FFP1) – unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent
This will still be on Blake’s record, however.
