Neal ElAttrache, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, is scheduled to perform arthroscopic knee surgery on LA Clippers' Blake Griffin, according to an LA Times report. Mr. Griffin will undergo the procedure to repair a torn medial meniscus and is expected to return to play in September. The injury means the Clippers power forward will pull out of the Olympic Games this summer.
