Byron Scott may have had something to do with Blake Griffin's latest injury...
The (Byron Scott Instagram Account) Instagram Video inspired by Clinton Yates (Washington Post) article, written Monday, January 25, 2016. He wrote about and used a different video so, click HERE for that article and information which includes a response on twitter from a fan:
Byron Scott showing more fight on Instagram than he's shown as a head coach. Praise be. https://t.co/tmxKY8vBNE

Everyone has an opinion. It would appear that Byron Scott might be brawling with some on his own TEAM:
Tarik Black, Nick Young ... Julius? Russell? Anyone? I don't want to "speculate" but it seems blatantly clear in a couple of those cases.
@gonzosports1 Thanks but I can't speculate on stuff unless I know it for fact

But, considering the timely nature of the "brawling" on Instagram which has shed more light on "Byron Scott, the Boxer" and considering the timing of Blake Griffin's "injury" perhaps the two are connected?
I don't know and cannot speculate.
Byron may have had a meeting with his "TEAM" of coaches to devise a plan to distract the fans and the media? They got a hold of the Clippers Equipment guy and BOOM, the Blake Griffin "injury" is NOW the biggest news story in LA.
Knowing that this season is a BUST (because people like ESPN broadcasters tell us it is):

And on the heels of a blowout loss to Portland. A game where Blazers Guards Lillard and McCollom combined for 64 points. A game where after the game, Byron Scott went on television to say that his team did NOT do what they asked them to.
Byron Scott basically said that his team did NOT listen to HIM and his coaches AT ALL. He is saying that not ONE player did what they (the coaches) asked them to do defensively, specifically related to Lillard and McCollum.
Since then, we know that Kobe gave an emotional speech to the team. During the game against the Blazers, Kobe is coaching the team in the huddle and Byron even referenced THAT; saying that it is good to hear some of the same things (especially from Kobe) from a player as it gets old and tired always hearing the same things from "coach."
Byron Scott keeps saying, "we didn't do the things we talked about doing." If the players are NOT listening to Coach_ changetheculture

At least it is ALL out in the OPEN. Brilliant move. Since ALL of this, Stephen Jackson has come out to say that the young players should NOT listen to Coach Scott. You can read that story and SEE the video call HERE.
Now, the PLAYERS of the TEAM will have to respond to Byron Scott;
whether players have NOT been listening for awhile,
OR,
do NOT want to ...
They will have to respond in their play. And THAT begins tonight against the DALLAS MAVERICKS.
Meanwhile, ALL of that NOISE and CHATTER has been deflected, albeit temporarily, by the NEWS that Blake Griffin is OUT_ READ ALL ABOUT IT.
So, whether Byron conspired to create a situation to do a little "waGGing of the DOG" or NOT, at least Lakers Fans can be thankful that there is an even more dramatic and dreary (?) News Worthy story in L.A,
We've got good news, Clippers fans!

The positive for LAC? THIS might be the STRAW that propels them to make a move that includes Griffin. The TEAM does not seem to miss him PLUS they are STILL a top player and role guy away from Vying with the likes of Golden State and San Antonio. Or, so it seems...
Clippers AND Charles Barkley: ZERO RINGS
Word is, this is the "missing" tweet that shows a picture of Byron Scott sparring with Blake Griffin. This was posted on Byron's Instagram. They were training for an upcoming event.
Byron has since earned the new nickname:
The implied connection of Byron Scott to the injury to Blake Griffin's wrist is purely fictitious and imaginary.
Byron Scott may or may NOT have the nickname "Fyron" and if he does, it is for "other" reasons.
It is difficult to tell with the magnificent "photo editing" work but that is NOT Byron Scott sparring with Blake Griffin.
