The hits keep coming for newly traded Blake Griffin.
After the Clippers shipped the 6-foot-10 forward to the Pistons on Monday, Olympian Lolo Jones weighed in on the blockbuster trade by shedding light on their past. Responding to a post about Griffin on Instagram, Jones shut down a follower who suggested she was into him personally.
“Nah, I went on a date with him,” Jones, 35, replied. “Worst date of my life and he’s a terrible kisser.”
Griffin, 28, who was last linked to supermodel Kendall Jenner, went out with the Olympic hurdler “years ago,” sources told TMZ.
The NBA All-Star addressed his new reality Tuesday morning on social media.
“Needed a night to digest and reflect on what happened ….,” Griffin began. “From being a #1 pick, to Lob City, to six straight Playoff appearances, I am so proud to have been part of the success of the Clippers organization. LA has been my home since I started in the league and I will forever be grateful to the city for embracing me and supporting me.”
While some Clippers alumni, Matt Barnes in particular, have lashed out at head coach Doc Rivers, Griffin has taken the high road.
“I’m ready for the next chapter, getting to work and helping the Detroit Pistons make a run in the Eastern Conference,” he said.
The Clippers received Pistons forward Tobias Harris, guard Avery Bradley, center Boban Marjanovic and first- and second-round draft picks in exchange for Griffin, Brice Johnson and Willie Reed.
