Blake Griffin âs injury Monday night serves as the end of an era for the Clippers â one that was good  but not as good as it couldâve been. (Jae C. Hong/AP)
As  Blake Griffin  limped off the court at Staples Center on Monday night  the best era in Los Angeles Clippers history left with  him .
Some of the faces remain â at least for now. Doc Rivers is still the coach  and DeAndre Jordan is the starting center.  Griffin   meanwhile  is in the first year of a five-year max contract  and the MCL sprain  he  suffered Monday night when Austin Rivers fell into  his  leg will only keep  him  out of the lineup for a couple of months  as opposed to the rest of the season.
The writing on the wall for this run ended when Paul left for Houston this summer  as Redick followed him out the door to Philadelphia shortly thereafter. Even though the Clippers did well in getting a nice haul for Paul â Patrick Beverley  Sam Dekker  Montrezl Harrell and a 2018 first-round pick â while keeping  Griffin  and signing Danilo Gallinari and Milos Teodosic in free agency  it felt like a roster that didnât fit together. It was also heavily reliant on several players with significant injury questions in  Griffin   Beverley  Gallinari and Teodosic.
Now all four of them are on the shelf â Beverley for the season following knee surgery  Griffin for the next two months  Teodosic for at least another month and Gallinari for at least another week. Whatâs also on the shelf is any hope of these Clippers making the playoffs  as it seems impossible theyâll be able to remain within striking distance of a playoff spot until  Griffin  comes back.
Rivers has been rumored in NBA circles to be on the verge of losing his job for weeks as the Clippers have floundered to start the season (and after he was demoted from running the basketball operations department this summer)  and those rumors will only intensify if the Clippers fall even further with  Griffin  sidelined. Meanwhile  Jordanâs name is coming up in trade conversations  though it could be difficult to find a landing spot that returns any kind of real value â at least without taking on bad deals for more years than Jordanâs expiring contract. Lou Williams  a talented scorer on an expiring deal  also feels like a piece that could be moved to a contender to bring some kind of assets back  and while moving on from Gallinari would be wise  his price tag (two more years at more than $20 million per) and injury history will make doing so difficult.
The Clippers have transformed from a laughingstock to a contender over the past several years  a once unthinkable change for a franchise that was defined for so long by dysfunction and embarrassment. Monday  though  that run officially came to an end when Blake Griffin trudged off the floor at Staples Center and into the locker room  leaving a trail of what-ifs about the past and uncertainties about the future.

Tesla Motors developed a giant backup power system in South Australia to combat the region's energy crisis  and switched on  the battery  on Dec. 1. (Jay Weatherill via Storyful)
Less than a month after  Tesla  unveiled a new backup power system in South Australia  the world's largest lithium-ion battery is already being put to the test. And it appears to be far exceeding expectations: In the past three weeks alone  the Hornsdale Power Reserve has smoothed out at least two major energy outages  responding even more quickly than the coal-fired backups that were supposed to provide emergency power.
 Tesla 's battery last week kicked in just 0.14 seconds after one of Australia's biggest plants  the Loy Yang facility in the neighboring state of Victoria  suffered a sudden  unexplained drop in output  according to the International Business Times. And the week before that  another failure at Loy Yang prompted  the Hornsdale battery  to respond in as little as four seconds â or less  according to some estimates â beating other plants to the punch. State officials have called the response time âa record â according to local media.
The effectiveness of  Tesla 's battery is being closely watched in a region that is in the grips of an energy crisis. The price of electricity is soaring in Australia  particularly in the state of South Australia  where a 2016 outage led 1.7 million residents to lose power in a blackout. Storms and heat waves have caused additional outages  and many Australians are bracing for more with the onset of summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Hornsdale battery system  which uses the same energy-storage tech found in  Tesla 's electric cars  is one of chief executive Elon Musk's newest projects. In March  Musk  who is known for setting high goals and only sometimes meeting them  vowed on Twitter to deliver a battery system for South Australia's struggling grid within 100 days or it would be free. By early July  the state had signed a deal with  Tesla  and the French-based energy company Neoen to produce the battery. And by Dec. 1  South Australia announced that it had switched on the Hornsdale battery.
A spokesman for  Tesla  didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Nonetheless  the Hornsdale reserve has already shown that it can provide what's known as âcontingencyâ service â keeping the grid stable in a crisis and easing what would otherwise be a significant power failure. And  more important  the project is the biggest proof-of-concept yet that batteries such as  Tesla 's can help mitigate one of renewable energy's most persistent problems: how to use it when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.
Where it can take as much as 10 minutes to spin up a traditional turbine in a pinch  added Coughlin  it's not uncommon to see systems such as  Tesla 's intervene in fractions of a second.
This isn't Musk's only experiment with large-scale batteries. Last year   Tesla  said  it  had equipped a small island in American Samoa with thousands of solar panels and batteries that could serve the area's 600 inhabitants  shifting them almost entirely off fossil fuels. In October  Musk responded to the hurricane crisis in Puerto Rico by offering to discuss building a solar grid for the island. Parts of Puerto Rico are still without power  months after Hurricane Maria ripped down power lines and other energy infrastructure.
