Power forward Blake Griffin was selected first overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2009 NBA draft, but injured his right kneecap in the final pre-season game resulting in him missing his entire first season. Blake made his debut the following season, was selected as an All-Star, won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, and was named the NBA Rookie of the Year. The 2017-2018 season was his last before a short stint at the Pistons, then he made his way to Brooklyn in early 2021.
