Clippers All-Star forward Blake Griffin injured his right hand throwing a punch during an altercation with a member of the team's traveling party over the weekend and will be sidelined a few more weeks.

Clippers Coach Doc Rivers would not divulge whether there would be any discipline involved as a result of the incident but said he would more fully address the situation before his team plays the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The equipment staff member involved in the altercation has not been fired, a team spokesman said.

He can’t control his anger or behavior, and uses violence to solve any and all problems.

He will fit in well with today’s NFL.

“. . .will be sidelined a few more weeks.” I think the appropriate discipline has already been delivered.

Probably got a Boxers fracture when he tried to punch some one in the head. Rule 1 Hard Target - Soft weapon ie: Palm Heel to head Soft Target - Hard Weapon ie: Fist to Abdomen

Mike Tyson got the same thing when he mixed it up with Mitch Green post fight.
