Blake Griffin has a staph infection in his right elbow and will undergo surgery on Monday.
This news came out of nowhere, and he isn't expected to be re-evaluated until after the All-Star break. There's simply no telling how long Griffin will be sidelined, but his owners should sit tight and wait for further updates. Spencer Hawes will likely be the biggest beneficiary in Griffin's absence and makes a lot of sense as a speculative add, while Glen Davis and Hedo Turkoglu will be in the mix for more minutes as well.
