Six-time All-Star forward Blake Griffin announced his retirement from the NBA on Instagram on Tuesday. Griffin was drafted No. 1 overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in 2009 out of Oklahoma and made second-team All-NBA three times, third-team All-NBA twice, and won the 2011 Rookie of the Year award. He played his final season with the Boston Celtics a year ago. Known for his explosiveness during the Clippers' "Lob City" era, Griffin did a great job of adapting his style of play later in his ...

The Boston Celtics are interested in bringing back veteran forward Blake Griffin for another campaign, but his return appears unlikely for now, writes Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe. Griffin himself recently noted that he loved life in Boston last season, but it looks like he still hasn't made up his mind whether to continue his career. The former All-Star will turn 35 during the 2023-24 NBA campaign. Griffin had career-low numbers across the board last season and his days of being a ...

Free-agent forward Blake Griffin has opened up about his experience with the Boston Celtics last season. "Boston is unbelievable," Griffin said on Barstool Sports' Fore Play podcast. "Living in Boston, playing in Boston, was like one of the best experiences. Dude, the fans are incredible." The 34-year-old made 41 appearances for the team in 2022-23, averaging 4.1 points and 3.8 rebounds. He had special praise reserved for Jayson Tatum. "The players on that team are just like such a great group ...

The Boston Celtics are willing to bring back Blake Griffin for another season. The veteran forward spent his 13th NBA campaign with the Celtics in 2022-23, playing in 41 regular-season games and one playoff contest. "I've heard the door remains open for his return despite the distance from family and his home on the West Coast," said Bobby Manning of CLNS Media. "Given that he mulled his options until October last year, it's worth assuming he'll follow a similarly deliberative process this ...

Boston Celtics forward Blake Griffin (back) is listed as questionable for Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers. He sat out of Friday's Game 3 victory due to lower back pain. Although, his absence isn't going to make a huge impact in the rotation. Both Al Horford and Robert Williams III are off the injury report heading into Game 4. There probably won't be many minutes available for Griffin anyway. That being said, Griffin won't be an attractive DFS option for Game 4 on Sunday.

Boston Celtics forward Blake Griffin will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Celtics are shorthanded here with both Marcus Smart (ankle) and Robert Williams III (knee) both ruled out. That being said, Griffin will make the start at center, while Derrick White serves as the point guard. White is a solid play with Smart out, while Griffin is going to have his value limited. Both Horford and Grant Williams should see action at center, which is going ...

Boston Celtics forward Blake Griffin will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Veteran big man Al Horford (back) is going to sit this game out, which gives Griffin a chance to start. Despite the move to the starting unit, Griffin doesn't offer a ton of upside in terms of fantasy value. He could be someone worth considering in deep leagues, but won't be asked to do much with a majority of this roster healthy.

Boston Celtics forward Blake Griffin will move into the starting five for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. The Celtics have decided to rest Al Horford (back) after he played 33 minutes during Friday's game. Griffin will take over his spot in the starting five for this contest. The 33-year-old hasn't been very productive through his four appearances with Boston this season. He'll have minimal fantasy value and won't be a recommended streaming option for Saturday's slate.

Free-agent power forward Blake Griffin is receiving interest from the Miami Heat, according to NBA reporter Sean Deveney. The 33-year-old spent the 2021-22 season with the Brooklyn Nets and averaged just 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game while logging 17.1 minutes per contest. It's hard to imagine Griffin has much left in the tank, as his numbers have been plummeting across the board since his last All-Star season with the Detroit Pistons in 2018-19. If he were to join the Heat, he'd likely ...

With the NBA Summer League over, it's time to take a look at some numbers and see if anything from Summer League will end up mattering for this upcoming NBA season.Warning: don't read too much into Summer League. For every Damian Lillard and Blake Griffin that win Summer League MVP, there's a Josh Selby and Glen Rice Jr. who also won Summer League MVP. The event is predictive to a point, but also that doesn't mean the Summer League is the singular thing that predicts NBA success. Players do well...
