The Clippers will have to play whatever is left of their postseason without Blake Griffin.
Griffin will miss the remainder of this year's NBA playoffs after aggravating an injury to his left quadriceps tendon Monday night, the team announced Tuesday.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers said the five-time All-Star told him he felt the injury flare up during the third quarter of the team’s 98-84 loss to the Trail Blazers in Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round series.
Griffin's injury was one of several blows to the Clippers on Monday. Point guard Chris Paul had surgery Tuesday after fracturing the third metacarpal in his shooting hand Monday night; he is expected to be out at least four to six weeks. Guard J.J. Redick will attempt to play through a heel injury.
