Blake Griffin fights through injury for date with Kendall Jenner

Washington: Even a painful knee couldn’t stop American basketball star Blake Griffin to hang out with model Kendall Jenner!

Griffin and his rumoured girlfriend Jenner had a low-key dinner date at the Improv comedy club in Los Angeles which also saw a private performance by comedian Dave Chappelle.

The LA Clippers superstar sustained a sprained Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) during a collision with Austin Rivers last week and that he is now expected to remain sidelined for two months.

Jenner, who recently outshined supermodel Gisele Bundchen to become the world’s highest-paid model, looked elegant in a long fuzzy black-coloured sweater paired with black jeans.

Last month, Griffin did not let Los Angeles Clippers’ embarrassing defeat against the New York Knicks affect him and reportedly partied into the wee hours of the morning with Kendall Jenner.

Jenner was in the crowd at Madison Square Garden to watch Griffin’s side 107-85 loss at the hands of New York Knicks, the TMZ reported.

Following the defeat, Griffin hit the clubs in Ney York City with Jenner and were spotted leaving Up & Down nightclub in Manhattan at the early hours of the morning, the TMZ reported.

Prior to that, the 28-year-old NBA player and Jenner were also spotted having a dinner date at Sugarfish in Beverly Hills, Calif on Sunday. (ANI)
