As a result of that examination, it has been determined that the healing in his left patella area has not improved to the expected required level. Griffin will undergo a surgical procedure in the near future, with a recovery prognosis of four to six months. Team personnel will be made available to the media. Further details will be made available as events develop. Previously on December 23rd, after undergoing a CT Scan and MRI Griffin had been cleared to increase his rehabilitation workload. Griffin, the first overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft, suffered a non-displaced stress fracture of his left patella during the Clippers’ last preseason game vs. the New Orleans Hornets on Friday, October 23rd.

All the jokes about something going wrong because it was the Clippers, have actually come to fruition. Sad.
He was very explosive in the preseason. Didn't he hurt it dunking? That is horrible, I hope he can return.
This really is bad, hopefully it's not career threatning. They don't build big guys like they used to...they're either shorter, fatter or want to shoot 3's
yao was injury-free for most of his 4 plus seasons...greg oden and blake griffen are what 20? and having season ending surgeries before their rookie season...yao wasnt even drafted at 20. but this is sad for any player to have season ending surgery..blazers and clippers are cursed. hope oden and griffen will come be healthy next season.
