Chris Paul managed to salvage the L.A. Clippers season once again with 34 points and 10 assists during a 111-106 win against Utah. In the course of a heated playoff game, the team announced that Blake Griffin would not be returning to the game with a sore big toe.

Everything was looking up for the squad until news broke today that they will be without Griffin for the rest of the post season. Reports indicate that his toe injury is much worse than originally thought and it would be better to keep him off the floor for his long-term health.

Unfortunately, the franchise has been without their high-flying power forward for large stretches of his career, so they are well-versed with performing in his absence. In fact, their offence flows more naturally with CP and DeAndre Jordan paired together.

Here are the various injuries that Blake has endured over the years:

Broken Kneecap: Rookie year

Before he ever stepped foot on the hardwood for a regular season contest, Griffin would have to work his way back from significant injuries. During a preseason game in 2009, he came down from a dunk wrong on his right leg and had to be pulled off the floor.

Later, the team would discover that he had sustained a broken kneecap and that the dunk had made the injury worse. He would miss the entire season before coming back the following year and astounding everyone on his way to rookie of the year.

Meniscus Tear: Olympics 2012

Heading into the London Olympics, many were jumping at the chance to see a young star like Griffin take part in the festivities. During the mini camps, video often surfaced of he and his teammates pulling off impressive slams in practices.

Shortly before the event began, he had to withdraw because of a meniscus tear. These sorts of injuries are common for people who exhibit the type of insane athleticism that the Clippers star makes look routine during his time on the court.

Stress Fracture: 2014 Fiba World Cup

Coming into the FIBA World Cup in 2014, the United States was in a bit of a bind, there were many players who were coming off long playoff journeys and as a result couldn’t represent the Red, White and Blue in this tournament.

Young stars like Blake and Paul George were looked to help bolster a roster that would not feature the familiar faces of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. Neither star ended up playing but the U.S. brought home gold anyway.

Broken Right Hand: 2016 Playoffs

Last year was one of the best chances to escape the Western Conference that the Clippers had since the Lob City era began. Stephen Curry wasn’t 100 percent and all they had to do was get past the Portland Trail Blazers.

Sadly, both Chris Paul and The BlakeShow ended up breaking their hands in the same game. This effectively killed the prospect of them advancing past round one and proved to be one of the most bitter disappointments imaginable for the team.

Toe Injury: 2017 Postseason

This year, Blake already had some minor procedures on his knee and was looking to rebound from last year’s sad exit from the playoffs. He came back in time for the playoffs and there was sneaking optimism that they might be able to catch lightning in a bottle.

Now with Griffin gone again, it falls to Chris Paul to try and lift the team with the help of DeAndre Jordan. This might not be enough though as the Warriors look poised for another roll to the Finals without facing a team at absolute strength.
