DeAndre Jordan Was at Dinner With Blake Griffin When He Hit a Clippers’ Equipment Manager
DeAndre Jordan was at the dinner where Blake Griffin punched a member of the Clippers staff, police were there too
Blake Griffinbroke his right hand while punching Clippers assistant equipment manager Matias Testi, after things went sideways during a dinner in Toronto between the two men who are not only coworkers, but also close personal friends.
Additional details are beginning to emerge of what exactly caused Griffin to snap to the point where he'd risk an injury, and it turns out that DeAndre Jordan was also in attendance. Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times has more:
Griffin is extremely fortunate that he wasn't arrested after the police arrived, and while these things can obviously escalate extremely quickly, it seems kind of odd that Jordan was unable to intervene to prevent this from taking place.
