Well, this might not be great news for the Clippers. Star power forward Blake Griffin was seen heading to the locker room late in the second quarter of Game 3 between the Clippers and Jazz in Salt Lake City.
The broadcasters on ESPN2 speculated that Griffin had turned his ankle on a drive to the rim against Rodney Hood.

Early signs weren’t great, as Griffin returned shortly after with a sneaker off.

Griffin had 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal on 5-9 shooting in 18 minutes before leaving the game.
UPDATE: The Clippers are reporting Blake hurt his big toe and will be getting X-Rays.
The official word from the Clippers is a sore right big toe for Blake Griffin. He will be getting x-rays and his return is questionable.

UPDATE: Blake is out for the rest of the game. Welp.
Griffin has a bruised right big toe and is OUT for the second half, per Clippers PR
