Good thing he'll be ready for the season, sucks that no Olympics yet, though.

On the positive side, Unibrow to London?

according to cf86, this is nothing but a win-win situation. now he gets to rest and watch game film to improve himself. on top of that, he has more time to read existential novels. all blake does is win.

First off... why the unnecessary thread when one is already going this actively on the topic? Secondly.... I reiterated that IF it wasn't an injury like this it was win/win. Not with an injury requiring surgery obviously. Also why would I be on suicide watch people? Griffin will be back for training camp and he's getting arthroscopic and it's not a major tear. Sure I'd rather him be healthy working on his game but now he will be forced to stop jumping and shoot free throws and work on post moves? I believe it will all work out. At least he got 2+ weeks with Team USA experience.

Kind of a random thought, but has any of these surgery on athletes ever gone bad?

Like he goes with for microscopic and comes out with a junior mint in his leg or something.

It sucks but at least he'll be ready for the start of the season...

+1 on him practicing free throws and some post moves...

I always wondered same thing too and honestly I don't think the team will allow them to go to a doctor that isn't a world class one. It's their investment and they want to protect it. I don't see Griffin calling around seeing which doctor to go to. It's probably a team/NBA decision.

Blessing in disguise according to clipperfan86

Quote me or STFU. I said if it was a knee sprain or minor injury it would be a blessing in disguise possibly and gave valid reasons for that. Never said an injury requiring surgery was a blessing.

Well I guess it would suck to him to not be able to participate in the Olympics, but being able to play when the 2012/13 season starts isnt so big of a loss and should be the positive outlook. Thankfully it was not that bad. And more than likely, he will be on the Olympic team in 4 years time.
