According to a release from the team, Clippers forward Blake Griffin could miss up to 8 weeks with an MCL sprain. Griffin suffered the injury last night in the fourth quarter of the team’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers, when he collided with teammate Austin Rivers on the defensive end and tweaked his knee.
An MRI today revealed no structural damage in Griffin’s left knee, but the sprained ligament will still keep him out for a while. The Clippers officially stated that the recovery can take up to 8 weeks, leaving the window open for an earlier return if Blake heals well during physical therapy.
