SALT LAKE CITY (AP) " Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin is out for the remainder of the NBA playoffs after injuring his big toe during Friday night's win against the Utah Jazz. The team announced Saturday that the five-time All-Star was diagnosed with an injury to the plantar plate of his right big toe. He had 11 points, six rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes, and the team said at the time the injury was a bruised toe. Clippers coach Doc Rivers said the injury actually happened on the play before the layup and added Griffin knew immediately that it was bad. The Clippers run much of their offense through Griffin and he's one of the best passers on the team.
