Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin is known to bang with opponents on the court. It’s who he got physical with off the court that got him into some serious hot water with teh Las Vegas PD>
TMZ Sports reports that Griffin has been charged with a crime for allegedly slapping a man inside a Las Vegas nightclub.
The incident happened last month when Blake and some friends were at Tao Nightclub. According to the alleged victim, Daniel Schuman, the Clippers superstar was upset by camera flashes in his face. He allegedly grabbed Daniel’s phone and neck. Daniel says Blake squeezed his neck, and demanded he give up his phone.
The Clark County D.A. has now charged Griffin with one count of misdemeanor battery. He faces 6 months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine — though a jail sentence is highly unlikely since Blake has no prior convictions for violent crimes.
Blake was with DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul that night. None of the other players were involved in the alleged incident.
