Clippers' Blake Griffin (toe) might not be ready for opener
Los Angeles Clippers unrestricted free agent forward/center Blake Griffin (toe) may not be ready for the start of the season and could be out until December, according to ESPN's Michael Eaves.
What It Means:
This contradicts Ramona Shelburne, also of ESPN, who has been informed that Griffin will be ready by the 2017-18 season opener. The 28-year-old All-Star received surgery on May 1 after injuring his right big toe against the Utah Jazz in Game 3 of their second-round matchup. Following the departure of Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets, the Clippers are reportedly willing to offer Griffin a five-year max to keep him in Los Angeles.
Griffin's 7.3 nERD ranked 26th in the NBA last season. He averaged 21.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists across 34.0 minutes a game.
