On Monday night, the Los Angeles Clippers were not only dealt a Game 4 defeat at the hands of the Portland Trail Blazers that evened the series; they also lost Chris Paul to a fractured hand, and now they might be without Blake Griffin as well.
Shortly after CP3 went down, Griffin suffered a left quad injury that forced him to leave the game for good.
Moving forward, head coach Doc Rivers isn't positive that Blake will be available.
“It doesn't look great for him, either,” Rivers said after expressing similar sentiments for Paul. He added that Griffin's chances of playing in Game 5 on Wednesday night are about 50-50.

While Griffin's broken hand from an altercation with a team trainer drew more attention from the media, it was a partially torn tendon in his left quad that forced him to miss extended time in the regular season.
Now, that same quad is what's hurting him again.
Griffin had 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds last night before watching the final minutes from the locker room and the bench. He'll be reevaluated on Tuesday to determine if he can possibly play tomorrow.
