The Clippers believe that Griffin's broken right hand could actually take up to two months to fully heal
The Clippers believe that Griffin's broken right hand could actually take up to two months to fully heal, ESPN.com's Zach Lowe reports.
Analysis:
After it was revealed earlier last week that Griffin fractured his hand while punching the Clippers' assistant equipment manager during an altercation in Toronto, the team projected him to miss four-to-six weeks. A two-month absence would give Griffin only two weeks of regular-season games before the playoffs begin, so fantasy owners in shallower formats without DL spots could be inclined to drop the big man from their roster if it becomes clear that he'll be out longer than initially anticipated.
