Blake Griffin close to making SHOCKING decision which is bad news for NBA teams interested in landing 6-Time All Star

Blake Griffin, one of the most electrifying players to ever play in the league, might not lace up to play in the NBA anymore. Blake, who spent last season playing an important role for the Boston Celtics, is contemplating retirement after a career spanning almost 13 seasons, as stated by Celtics President Brad Stevens.

The Celtics President sat down with Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe to talk about the upcoming season. During the conversation, Brad mentioned how he had offered Blake Griffin an opportunity to come back for another season with the team, given the fact that he was such an important part of the team last season. Brad also talked about how, if Griffin wanted to return to the Celtics next season, he would be welcomed.

Griffin, who was a superstar during his time with the Clippers and the Pistons, has seen a decline in his performance as he ages, largely due to numerous major injuries that have hindered his explosive play on the floor. He averaged 4.1 points last season while playing only 14 minutes in 41 games. Griffin might consider hanging up his shoes, as he may not see it as worthwhile to play a minimal role and chase a championship where he cannot make a significant contribution in the playoffs.

If Blake finally decides to hang up his boots, it will be a massive challenge for his fans and his teams fans in order to predict the winner for future games, which might effect their performances in online sportsbooks, However, some sportsbook promos in the market help you get more value out of your picks.

A look at Blake Griffin’s incredible career

Blake Griffin came into the 2009 NBA draft as the definitive No. 1 overall pick in the draft after his incredible college season at the University of Oklahoma. The Los Angeles Clippers drafted Griffin No. 1 overall, but he missed the 2009-10 season due to an injury. He came back strong in the next season, averaging 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists and won the Rookie of the Year award that season. He also won the slam dunk contest that year after his memorable dunk over a car.

After his rookie season, there was no looking back. The signing of Chris Paul by the Clippers created Lob City. Paul, Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan led the team to six consecutive playoff appearances from 2012 to 2017. Griffin performed really well and was an All-Star five times during this timespan. He was also a member of the All-NBA second team thrice and third team twice. He was then traded to Detroit, where he played his infamous 2018 season, averaging 24.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5.4 assists. Griffin made his sixth and final All-Star appearance in that season, as just after 18 games the next season, he had to go through a knee surgery that put a stop to his explosiveness forever.

Blake has had a history of injuries, especially knee injuries. He suffered a broken kneecap before his rookie season, a meniscus tear before the 2012 Olympics, and before the 2019 career-altering surgery. He also suffered a stress fracture in his lower back before the 2014 FIBA World Cup and a hamstring strain in the 2021 season with the Nets. These injuries hindered Blake from achieving his full potential. He had an incredible career, and if he were to retire, the fans would welcome his decision, as he deserves to finally rest after entertaining them for years.
