BROOKLYN (Aug. 9, 2021) – The Brooklyn Nets have re-signed forward/center Blake Griffin. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released.

He tied for the league lead in charges drawn (22, 11 of which were drawn as a Net) and ranked second on the Nets in offensive rating (121.0) and net rating (10.7) after his debut with the team on March 21, trailing only Kevin Durant in both categories. Griffin also appeared in and started all 12 of Brooklyn’s 2021 playoff games, averaging 9.0 points on 53.2 percent shooting from the field, 38.9 percent shooting from distance and 71.4 percent shooting from the free-throw line, 5.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 26.5 minutes per contest. Griffin shot 14-of-36 from 3-point range in the 2021 postseason after shooting 13-of-36 (36.1 percent) from distance in his previous seven playoff appearances combined.

Griffin is a six-time NBA All-Star (2011-15, 2019) and five-time All-NBA selection, taking home second-team honors three times with the Los Angeles Clippers (2012-14) and third-team honors twice with the Clippers (2015) and Detroit Pistons (2019). In 668 career games (652 starts) across 11 seasons with the Nets, Pistons (2018-21) and Clippers (2010-18), Griffin has registered averages of 20.9 points on 49.5 percent shooting from the field, 33.4 percent shooting from 3-point range and 69.6 percent from the free-throw line, 8.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 34.2 minutes per contest.

He’s also one of just five players in that timeframe to amass 10,000 points, 5,000 rebounds and 2,000 assists, joining Giannis Antetokounmpo, Marc Gasol, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.
