LAS VEGAS -- Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin withdrew last week from Team USA training camp for the FIBA World Cup because he was advised by doctors to give a small fracture in his back more time to heal before the start of the next NBA season, sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com.

Griffin is expected to make a full recovery from the injury, which sources say was suffered during the playoffs. However, doctors advised him to sit out international competition this summer for precautionary reasons.

Wonder how much this will affect his play next season, if any.

I told my friends I have been doing black magic to get the Clips pick as low as possible.  This is really going to make them think I have powers.

Keep it up.  Maybe it's working. :)

If his back was bad I sure couldn't tell it.

not to wish him ill since he seems like a likeable guy BUT I have to admit I hope it impacts his play along with the ongoing Sterling mess to drive that team out of the playoffs.

Hello C's snagging the top 2 picks in next year's lottery ;)

Serious injuries were always around the corner for this guy given his reckless style of play.

Edit: Griffin needs to change style of play. Become more conservative. Less reckless forays to the rim. Needs more jump-shots and post moves. Less explosive aerial attacks on the rim. Otherwise, injuries are his future and his career (as top player) will be cut short.

This sucks. Injuries suck.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Sounds pretty minor. More of a precaution to have him rest for the regular season. We can only hope it affects his game and he's got to sit out a few game. Clips are too good to have a bad season, unless some of their key guys go down. With or with out Doc they should be a close to what they did last year
