Blake Griffin will miss the rest of the season and the postseason due to an injury to his plantar plate of his right big toe. Griffin suffered the injury late in the first half of Game 3 and now leaves the Clippers down with one of their stars but up 2-1 in this series. It remains to be seen who will start for Griffin in Game 4. Griffin finished with 11 points in Game 3 while adding six boards, two assists, and one steal. (Marc Spears on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Griffin is a huge loss to the Clippers chances if they advance against the Jazz. A platoon of players will attempt to fill in for Griffin including Mareesse Speights, Paul Pierce, Raymond Felton and Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul, J.J. Redick and DeAndre Jordan get an immediate boost with this news while Jamal Crawford, Maresse Speights and Paul Pierce should benefit as well.
