Since he has been spending the last three weeks off-field after having a staph infection removed from his right elbow, it appears Los Angeles Clippers’ forward stayed busy taking care of some personal deeds lately. The five-time NBA All-Star player was seen running some errands with his blue Tesla Model S the other day in Los Angeles.
It’s good to find that coach Doc Rivers’ words on Monday are true and we see that Griffin truly is recovering. “I know he’s running and sweating and going full-tilt now,” Rivers said who added that he believes the 25-year NBA star is ready to start shooting balls and doing what he does best. Whether we’re going to see Griffin on field on Sunday’s game against the Golden State Warriors it’s still not clear, but there’s a possibility.
Now, getting back to the photographs in question, we have to admit it’s quite a surprise to see the three-time All-NBA Second Team selected player driving a Tesla Model S. And we’re saying this for at least two reasons. Firstly, NBA players are usually luxury SUV drivers or sportscars enthusiasts, rarely do we get to write about EV owners. Secondly, judging by his endorsements with Kia Motors, we figured Griffin would be rather driving one of their cars.
In case you haven’t seen any of the ads, we’ll remind you that LA Clippers’ forward has been Kia’s brand ambassador for the last two years, promoting the Optima, the South Korean’s mid-size four-door sedan. Now, considering that Kia have their own Soul EV, we can only assume that Griffin likes Elon Musk’s luxury sedan better.
