Tonight was supposed to be a new triumphant era in LA Clippers basketball history. LA Clipper is a NBA basketball team full of expectation and is a quite promising team to have great amount of success. While, before any shot in this season, a lot of frustrations have confronted the LA Clipper. Everything seems to be the writing on the wall for the Clippers.
The Clippers seem to be stepping into the year of all too-family feeling of setbacks, upset and regret. Of course, so do their fans.
Blake Griffin’s left kneecap was once more hurted, and he could be absent from the game for 6 weeks or so.
News for LA Times: the rookie forward Blake Griffin, the No.1 overall drafting choice in the NBA draft in June, has suffered from a stress fracture of his left patella, or kneecap and could miss as much as six weeks. The first test result on Monday revealed the injury, and another testament later revealed in the same day approved this result once again. A spokesman of the Clipper said it was a non-displaced fracture. However, the team is going to take a conservative approach, which means Blake Griffin will be absent from at least the first 20 games and the NBA games as well. Griffin is also suffering from the tendonitis of the left knee at the same time.
Griffin’s re-injury of his left kneecap seems to perfectly illustrate the words: moments of brief joy and excitement quickly followed by disaster.
