Blake Griffin (ankle) played 14 eventful minutes in Friday's Game 6 elimination loss, scoring nine points on 3-of-5 shooting to go with three rebounds.

Griffin had four fouls and ended up wrastlin' on the floor with Z-Bo on a play in which both players could get calls from the league office (though both guys stayed in the game). Griffin's injury was just about the worst thing that could have happened to the Clippers given the Grizzlies' strength on the interior, and it's a disappointing ending for a team that could have made some noise in the depleted West.

A Clippers source tells ESPN Los Angeles that Blake Griffin (ankle) "really is 50-50" for Friday's Game 6 against the Grizzlies.

The high right ankle sprain Griffin sustained during Monday's practice is the worst of his career. He went through a light workout Friday morning, but that doesn't tell us much. Even if Griffin does suit up, we wouldn't expect a full complement of minutes and touches. Lamar Odom is going to play a major role in Game 6.

Blake Griffin received treatment on his sprained ankle Thursday and did not practice.

Griffin wants to play but is a game-time decision Friday night due to a "moderate" right ankle sprain. The Clippers have been tight-lipped on the specifics, but Griffin reportedly has had difficulty walking in recent days after aggravating the injury during Game 5. Even if he suits up, we can't imagine Griffin will be particularly useful against Memphis bigs Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. Chris Paul might need a super-human effort to save off elimination Friday night.
