Blake Griffin is expected to miss four to six weeks with a broken Dustin Byfuglien Jerseyshooting hand after punching a Los Angeles Clippers staff member during a road trip. The star forward underwent a procedure and was treated by an orthopedic surgeon after returning early to Los Angeles from the five-game trip, the team said Tuesday. He has a spiral fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand. A person with knowledge of the incident said Griffin and equipment manager Matias Testi got into an argument during a http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Keith_Tkachuk_Jerseydinner that escalated. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Clippers had not confirmed those details publicly. Testi had multiple facial injuries. About 90 minutes before Tuesday night's game at Indiana, coach Doc Rivers said he had spoken with Griffin. Rivers made it clear he wasn't happy with the situation. ''I'm not satisfied,'' Rivers said. http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Laurie_Boschman_Jersey''I'm not satisfied with anything. I'm talking about a non-basketball issue right now, so I'm not satisfied with anything.'' While Rivers didn't shed much light on what led to the initial argument last Saturday in Toronto, he did acknowledge punishment is likely. He did not elaborate on what it might be. Instead, Rivers said, he will wait for the team, with help from league officials, to complete an investigation. Testi and Griffin appear in many photographs Brock Nelson Jerseythat have been making the rounds on social media, and Rivers confirmed Griffin and the equipment manager had a friendly relationship. He also said he did not believe alcohol had anything to do with the incident. ''It happened, http://www.officialislandersstore.com/Womens_Youth_Bryan_Trottier_Jerseybut it shouldn't happen. They were good friends,'' Rivers said. ''It's frustrating. You don't want it to happen to anyone. You don't want it to happen during the season. You don't want it to happen after the season.'' Clippers players declined to comment when the locker room was open for pregame availability. Team owner Steve Ballmer and Rivers, who is also president of basketball operations, issued a statement earlier Tuesday in which they said Griffin threw a punch in Toronto.
