EXCLUSIVE
The L.A. Clippers equipment staffer who was punched in the face by Blake Griffin during a fight in Toronto earlier this year is off the team -- and will NOT be back for the '16/'17 season ... TMZ Sports has learned.
We spoke with a rep for the Clippers who confirmed Matias Testi "no longer works for the team."
Testi had been employed by the Clippers for years -- and was on the road with Griffin back in January when the NBA superstar snapped and punched him in the head.
Griffin broke his hand during the incident and was later suspended by the team.
It seemed the two sides buried the hatchet -- with Blake and Matias shaking hands at a Clippers game one month after the fight.
The Clippers wouldn't say whether Testi was fired or if he quit -- or if the fight had anything to do with the situation.
