Blake Griffin may miss six weeks

The Los Angeles Clippers have the absolute worst luck in the world, there is no doubt about it (Washington Wizards’ fans are screaming in outrage).

Clippers rookie forward Blake Griffin, who was drafted No. 1 overall in June’s NBA draft, may miss the first six weeks of the season, according to reports.

Griffin who has been dealing with tendinitis throughout the preseason, broke his kneecap during the team’s final preseason game on Friday. The reports are early, but according to a Clippers spokesperson, the team is going to be conservative with getting the rookie back on the floor.

With Griffin missing at least 20 games already, and the normal 3,000 missed games that Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman and Baron Davis give their teams every season, it’s going to be another rough season for the Clippers and their loyal, yet depressed fan-base.

The Clippers play the championship ring receiving Lakers tonight on TNT, so this should be entertaining (I say that loosely).
