Clippers All-Star Blake Griffin suffered a small cut on his right foot while swimming in the ocean and will not play in Sunday’s charity basketball game in Oklahoma City.

Griffin’s agent Sam Goldfeder said it was a minor injury and Griffin should be back on the court soon.

Griffin, who is from Oklahoma City, was co-sponsoring the charity event with Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant.

Other NBA stars scheduled to play in the exhibition include LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony.
