A bombshell has just been dropped on the Detroit Sports scene. According to Yahoo’s Chris Haynes, Detroit Pistons’ power forward Blake Griffin is reportedly considering season-ending surgery on his knee.

Griffin put up MVP-like numbers last season (playing 75 games and averaging a career-high in points) and lead the Pistons to a playoff berth. This year, he hasn’t quite been the same, playing only 18 of a possible 37 games, and averaging a career-low in points and 15.5 ppg.
There are a lot of trade rumors circulating around the Pistons, and it seems as though they have been a franchise on the fence of going for it and completely rebuilding. If Griffin goes through with the surgery, that might be the final push the Pistons need to “tank”.
