According to reports, multi-millionaire adult human Blake Griffin broke his hand after punching a Los Angeles Clippers equipment manager multiple times. That same report states that the argument first began in a restaurant, then moved outside when Blake punched the employee enough times to send him to the hospital.

Rumors began swirling on the radio that the man injured was Matias Testi, an equipment manager who’s become good friends with Blake. Allegedly the two traveled together in the off-season and are boys, so maybe the fight was one between friends–not between two people who had serious differences of opinions.
The timetable for his return is 4 to six weeks.
Update: The LA Clippers have announced that Blake did actually break his hand in a punch. “Blake Griffin suffered a spiral fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand throwing a punch on January 23rd in Toronto.” Furthermore, they said that “this conduct has no place in our organization and this incident does not represent who we are as a team.”
