The US Olympic squad catches the injury bug with the loss of L.A. Clippers star Blake Griffin. This is a huge loss for team USA and it will surely creat alot of media attention. So what exactly is a
torn meniscus? That is a very simple question that leads to many others.
First off, a torn meniscus is one of the most commonly seen knee injuries in all sports. See a complete list of
knee injuries on our site. A tear to the meniscus typically occurs due to a sudden stopping or twisting of the knee. You really hate to see Team USA lose such a talented young player that could have offered alot to help them bring home the Gold, but it is a relief to hear that Griffin will not miss any of the upcoming season. However, you may see him hobbling around in a
torn meniscus knee brace in the upcoming months.
