It’s been a long time — almost a year to the date, in fact — since Blake Griffin wore an LA Clippers uniform at STAPLES Center.
It was January 24, 2018. The Clippers fell short in a battle against the Boston Celtics, 113-102, in what would become Griffin’s final home game with the LA Clippers. At the time, though, nobody really knew it would be.
Well, that’s not true. The team might’ve known. We just didn’t.
The following two games would be Griffin’s last with the Clippers entirely — both wins on the road, against the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans.
