Top pick Blake Griffin out for season

Clippers No. 1 overall pick Blake Griffin was projected to return later this month, but after experiencing some discomfort in the rehab process, he will require knee surgery that will take four to six months to recover from ending his season. Many fantasy owners were expecting him to return shortly and now he can be dropped. Griffin suffered a non-displaced stress fracture of his left patella in the Clippers final preseason game.
