The Detroit Pistons announced today that forward Blake Griffin underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left knee today in Los Angeles.  The procedure addressed the issue causing soreness in the knee during the club’s final two weeks of the season and playoffs, as Griffin saw limited action during the team's first round series with the Bucks.

Griffin is not expected to miss any planned offseason training or preparation for the 2019-20 NBA season.

Griffin has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, with many of his injuries unfortunately occurring near the postseason.

The six-time NBA all-star became the first Pistons player in franchise history to post averages of 24 points, seven rebounds, and five assists during the regular season.  He also made a career-high 189 three-pointers, which was the second-highest total for three-point field goals made in franchise history.

Griffin’s 24.5 points per game tied for the ninth-highest scoring average recorded in team history, and his 21 games with 30-plus points was the most since the 2000-01 season.
