Clippers forward Blake Griffin has a torn meniscus in his right knee and will miss the Olympics, the Los Angeles Times is reporting. Griffin is expected to have arthroscopic surgery next week and be ready for training camp.
He becomes the latest on a long list of big men that won’t be available for Team USA at the London Games due to injury, which includes Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh and LaMarcus Aldridge.
With Griffin unavailable, top overall draft pick Anthony Davis will be added to the 12-man roster.
