Cuban said he “feels bad for Blake” Griffin after his run-in with J. J. Barea

DALLAS – In the wake of Dallas Mavericks guard J. J. Barea getting ejected from Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers for pushing Clippers power forward Blake Griffin, owner Mark Cuban had some fun at Griffin’s expense.

"I just feel bad for Blake,’’ Cuban said prior to Saturday’s game against the Toronto Raptors. "It’s hard to come back from a knockout like that.

"We sent flowers to his family – condolences. I can only guess that he’s going to be drinking through a straw for a long, long time, so our thoughts and prayers go out to Blake and his family.
