Griffin skipped the team's Monday flight to Sacramento, did not return messages left by the Rockets on Tuesday and did not take a commercial flight to join the team in time to play the Kings on Tuesday night. "There were messages left by Carroll (Dawson, the Rockets' general manager) to him," Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said. "There has been no returned call. It's my understanding he's safe. It's not a safety issue. </div> Full Article: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/s.../bk/bkn/2157947 I hope for Griffin's safety that he is ok. This isn't the best time to be missing from practice and games without at least telling someone in the Rockets organization. This is really weird.
Its a shame. He has all the talent in the world to succeed. I hope he doesn't throw it down the drain.
All I thought happened was he missed his flight to Sacramento.I'm sure he is fine..but he has some explaining to do...thats for sure
Your right allnet, he does have some serious explaining to do. If im Jeff Van Gundy, he will be sitting the bench for a few games, along with doing some extra conditioning in practice.
There's not excuse for not showing up but let's not jump on the guy quite yet. Is there any news as to what's up with him?
