Griffin To Be Named NBA's Rookie Of The Year
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Blake Griffin is expected to be named the NBA's Rookie of the Year on Wednesday at the Los Angeles Clippers' training complex.
The Clippers on Tuesday announced a news conference for the presentation of a major NBA award.
Rookie of the Year is the only award left. A Griffin victory would be no surprise.
The 2009 No. 1 draft pick had a spectacular debut season after missing all of last year with a knee injury, averaging 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists while making the West All-Star team and playing in all 82 games. He had 63 double doubles while single-handedly energizing the Clippers, who still missed the playoffs for the 13th time in 14 seasons.
