OKLAHOMA CITY — After becoming the first Oklahoma player to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft, the start of Blake Griffin’s professional career has been delayed by injuries. His college teammates, meanwhile, have struggled at times to adapt to life without him.
For one night, they’ll reunite and reminisce about better times, and then try to make the best of what’s ahead.
A day before he’s scheduled to be honored during “Blake Griffin Night” in Norman, the former Sooners star told reporters Monday it’s been tough to miss his entire first NBA season but wanted to get his knee fixed so he won’t have to “deal with it in the future.”
While he’s been out, he’s been trying to encourage the Sooners as they’re stuck in the middle of the pack in the Big 12.
