Los Angeles Clippers NBA Cheerleader Girls

On January 6, 2009, the Clippers waived Fred Jones & Paul Davis to open a roster spot for Center from Senegal Cheikh Samb (the Clippers have since re-signed Jones). The Clippers ended the 2008–09 season with another disappointing finish – 14th in the Western Conference – with a record of 19–63.
• Arrival of Blake Griffin (2009-2011)
On May 19, 2009 the Clippers were awarded the first overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft and selected Blake Griffin. To open up a spot in the lineup for him, they traded Zach Randolph to Memphis for Quentin Richardson. Richardson was then traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Sebastian Telfair, Craig Smith, and Mark Madsen.
Griffin immediately impressed in training camp and preseason. On October 23, he broke his kneecap during the Clippers' final exhibition game, most likely after a dunk. Initially, the Clippers' stated that he only had a sore left knee, which would make him questionable for the season opener the following night, before they revealed the break. The injury sidelined Griffin for the entire season.
