After breaking his hand, star Blake Griffin is slated to be out for 4-6 weeks however the healing process might take a lot longer than what was originally believed.
The injury to Griffin's right hand was not the first injury Griffin suffered as he was dealing with a torn quadriceps for most of the season, now after getting close to a return from one injury he finds himself having to deal with another.
he facts surrounding the incident that led to Griffin's broken hand are still a bit scattered, however it is known that Griffin got into an altercation with Matias Testi an equipment manager for the Los Angeles Clippers.
The fight allegedly took place in a Toronto restaurant where Griffin punched Testi repeatedly, eventually leading to a broken hand. The average amount of games an NBA player misses with Griffin's injury is around 17 so that's about a month of basketball Griffin will miss.
The Los Angeles Clippers however are 11-3 without the Griffin so the injury while unpleasant does not change the fact that this team has found a rhythm without one of their best players. The NBA will investigate this situation thoroughly and will probably punish Griffin in the form of a fine or suspension.
