The Clippers beat the Jazz Friday night and lead the first-round series 2-1.
As you might expect with a toe injury, it occurred on a seemingly harmless play in the third quarter as Griffin drove to the rim and landed gingerly.

You’ll recall this happened to Griffin last year, too. He re-aggravated a quad injury during a playoff series against Portland, and the Clippers lost in six.
