On the sidelines since the end of the 2022-2023 season while playing for the Celtics, the American Blake Griffin announced this Tuesday, on his social networks, that he was definitively ending his career after fourteen years in the league .
“Basketball has given me so much, I regret nothing,” he wrote. Six times selected to the All-Star Game, Blake Griffin was chosen No. 1 in the 2009 draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. His thunderous debut was delayed for a year by an injury.
He then joined the Detroit Pistons (2017), the Brooklyn Nets (2021), then played a final season 2022-2023 in a minor role with the Boston Celtics. Positioned as a winger or power forward, Griffin saw his career slowed down by several injuries, notably to his left knee, he who still had nine seasons averaging more than 20 points per game.
With his incredible athleticism, Griffin left his mark on the North American league with his powerful dunks, notably during the 2011 All-Star Game for his rookie season, when he jumped over a car.
