He had a nasty stress fracture injury in his left kneecap when he was playing his final pre-season game in the Summer Camp, just before the start of the season he was drafted. This made him skip that whole season, just like Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid did recently

After his season-ending injury, Griffin chose to work out under the coaching of Frank Matrisciano, who goes by the name “Hell’s Trainer” in the business due to his ruthless but truly effective work-out programs.
