Staggering Clippers Hold Their Breath After Blake Griffin Injures Knee

The five-time All-Star power forward sustained a left knee injury late during the fourth quarter of the Clippers' 120-115 home win over the Lakers on Monday. As Griffin and Lakers rookie guard Lonzo Ball grappled for possession of the ball in the paint, Clippers guard Austin Rivers fell into Griffin's left leg, causing it to twist awkwardly. After Griffin labored for a few possessions, Clippers coach Doc Rivers decided to pull his star from the game.
