Blake Griffin out for rest of playoffs, Chris Paul has hand surgery

Forward Blake Griffin will miss the remainder of the 2016 NBA Playoffs after aggravating the injury to his left quad tendon last night in Game 4.

Griffin underwent an MRI this morning that revealed no further structural damage, and the five-time NBA All-Star will be ready for the start of 2016-17 training camp.

Griffin originally injured the quad on December 25th in a game against the Lakers and missed 41 games this season due to the injury.

Guard Chris Paul underwent surgery this morning in Los Angeles to repair a right hand fracture suffered in the third quarter of last night’s game against Portland. Dr. Steve Shin performed the operation and Paul is expected to miss at least 4 to 6 weeks, according to team sources.
