LOS ANGELES (AP) Blake Griffin was back in his usual place, front and center on a Clippers stage.
After opting out of his contract, Griffin didn’t spend the offseason toiling over whether to sign with another team – like his teammate DeAndre Jordan famously did. For Griffin, it was an easy decision to sign a max five-year deal to stay with the only NBA team he’s played for in his seven-year career.
”I want to say how excited I am to be back. This has been my home since I was drafted. A lot went into this decision,” Griffin said Wednesday.
