    Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin has been diagnosed with a medial meniscus tear of his left knee and, according to a Los Angeles Times report, will likely will have arthroscopic surgery early next week.The Times, citing NBA executives, reports Griffin is expected to miss eight weeks, but should be fully recovered by the start of Clippers training camp in October.Griffin, as a result, will miss the upcoming Olympic Games in London."We're relieved that this does not affect Blake's ability to be ready in time for training camp," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said in a statement. "Missing out on the Olympic experience will be tough for him to take. I know how dedicated he was to doing that. We're glad we can get this fixed now and take advantage of the available time for him to fully recover."
