LOS ANGELES, USA – Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin faces a charge of misdemeanor battery from an incident last month in a Las Vegas nightclub, court records showed Wednesday.
The former NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion was charged following an alleged altercation with a man using a camera last October 19, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Griffin was reportedly annoyed at camera flashes in his face at the Venetian resort’s Tao nightclub.
Griffin, 25, is due to be arraigned on December 8 in Las Vegas. He faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Last month, Clippers coach Doc Rivers expressed support for Griffin.
“He’s a great kid. We’ll figure it out and get through it,” Rivers said. “I can’t say much but I feel very confident things will work out.”
Griffin is averaging 24.3 points and 6.9 rebounds for the Clippers, who are off to a 4-3 start this season. He scored a career-high 24.1 points last season. – Rappler.com
