Blake Griffin will be suspended 4 games -- without pay -- for punching the Clippers equipment assistant manager during a violent altercation in Toronto last month.

12:32 PM PT -- A rep for the D.A.'s office tells TMZ Sports they will NOT be filing a formal probation violation against Jones.

"This will be dealt with by a sanction at the probation level and we will not be filing a formal probation violation," a rep for the D.A.'s office tells us.

Translation -- looks like Jones is in the clear.

Jon Jones is not worried about his traffic citations in New Mexico -- even though he's on probation -- telling TMZ Sports he is a FULLY LICENSED driver ... and he's confident everything will be cleared up.

As we previously reported, the UFC superstar was pulled over in Albuquerque last week -- and cited for not having his driver's license on him, no proof of insurance and no registration.

It's a dicey situation since he's on probation and was specifically ordered to obey all laws -- and could face serious jail time if his probation is revoked.

But Jon's rep, Denise White, tells TMZ Sports ... Jon has a perfectly good explanation and expects the charges to be tossed out.

"Jon Jones was pulled over for a minor traffic infraction, he was cited for not having proof of insurance and license on him. He will appear in traffic court this week when it will most likely be dismissed since he is fully licensed and insured."

Stay tuned ...

12:32 PM PT -- A rep for the D.A.'s office tells TMZ Sports they will NOT be filing a formal probation violation against Jones.

"This will be dealt with by a sanction at the probation level and we will not be filing a formal probation violation," a rep for the D.A.'s office tells us.

Translation -- looks like Jones is in the clear.

Jon Jones could be in serious trouble ... because officials in New Mexico are investigating if the UFC superstar violated his probation last week -- and the consequences could be VERY serious.

Jones is currently serving 18 months probation stemming from his hit and run conviction back in September -- and he was ordered to not break any laws.

But Jones was pulled over in Albuquerque on January 31st and was cited for 3 violations -- driving without a registration, no driver's license and no proof of insurance.

We spoke with a rep for the Bernalillo District Attorney's Office who tells us officials are currently "examining the matter" to determine if Jones violated his probation.

Jones has a lot at stake -- it's specifically written in his plea agreement that "if defendant violates that probation, defendant may be incarcerated for the balance of the sentence."

Officials tell us so far, there has not been a formal report of violation of probation and Jones has NOT been taken into custody over the matter.

LeSean McCoy isn't the only NFL player under investigation for allegedly attacking off-duty cops in Philly -- investigators say the other 3 men are also pro football players.

The Philadelphia PD issued a statement saying all of the suspects "are reported to be members of the National Football League."

Cops have not yet released the names of the suspects.

The Philly PD says the fight was over "the ownership of a bottle of champagne" -- with the suspects allegedly punching, kicking and stomping the victims multiple times.

The victims were hurt pretty badly -- cops say one man transported himself to the hospital where he was treated for a cut over his right eye, broken nose, broken ribs and a sprained thumb.

Another alleged victim says he needed 8 stitches to close a gash on his left eye and may have a skull fracture.

Derek Fisher's out ... and now Dennis Rodman wants in!

Kim Jong-un's favorite NBA Hall of Famer has officially thrown his boa into the ring to be the next head coach of the NY Knicks -- and he's even posted a message directed at Phil Jackson.

"Hey @PhilJackson11 @nyknicks, I have a pretty decent resume on the court and I can coach; and I'm available. Call me. @nba."

Fisher was fired earlier Monday and Kurt Rambis was named interim head coach.

Worm wants a shot ... think Phil will give it to him?

Johnny Manziel is now the subject of a Dallas PD investigation.

24 hours after cops said they would not arrest Manziel for allegedly beating Colleen Crowley last weekend -- police now say they will investigate because Crowley is cooperating.

Former "Survivor" contestant Michael Skupin -- whose claim to fame on the show was falling in a fire pit -- has been charged with several counts of possessing child porn.

Michigan's Attorney General announced the charges Friday ... including 6 counts of possession of child porn, 5 counts of larceny and 1 count of racketeering.

The A.G. says Skupin came under investigation after people came forward claiming they were victims of his Ponzi scheme, losing up to $10k. When investigators seized Skupin's computer, they discovered images of underage kids in sexual situations, according to the A.G.

Johnny Manziel's ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley is still in fear after the alleged hitting incident -- so much so, she went to court to get protection from Manziel.

The Academy Awards will be filled with some seriously pampered asses this year -- celebs are getting the most balling toilet paper ... EVER!

Each year all the Oscar nominees get a stupid amount of swag in the official gift bag and this year's includes $200,000 worth of gear like $6,000 worth of pet food, $1,900 Vampire breast lift (no surgery, it's a blood thing), and a $275 luxury toilet paper and moisturizing set. Can you imagine how soft that paper is??

It's also got some traditional crap -- $55k Israel trip, $54k Japan trip, and some grossly overpriced skincare items. On the cooler side, for female nominees like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Winslet ... there's something called a $250 female "arouser" which offers "gentle suction and stimulation."

Meek Mill just got the best possible outcome at his sentencing for probation violation -- zero time behind bars.

A Philadelphia judge gave Meek 6 to 12 months in county jail, BUT he will be allowed to serve the time on house arrest. He will do a minimum of 90 days, and won't be able to do his regular job -- rapping and performing, he can only do charitable work for the community.

That ban from work includes releasing any mixtapes. Translation: No new diss tracks aimed at Drake ... for a while.

The judge will reevaluate after 90 days to determine how much longer he'll remain under house arrest.

Meek had been on probation for a 2009 drug and gun conviction when he skipped town for the AMAs in November without getting written permission from his probation officer. He also failed a pee test.

A judge ruled in December he was in violation, despite heartfelt testimony from gf Nicki Minaj and Meek's own waterworks. Nicki was in court on Friday, and was even brought into chambers with Meek and the judge to discuss what kind of charity work he'll be doing.

Meek has to turn himself in by March 1st, when he'll get his ankle monitoring bracelet.

IndyCar stud Marco Andretti is officially on the road to marriage ... proposing to his hot Polish model girlfriend ... and she said yes!

Marco -- grandson of racing legend Mario Andretti -- popped the question to Marta Krupa ... who he's reportedly been connected with since 2008.

Krupa is the younger sister of reality star Joanna Krupa -- who's appeared on 'Real Housewives' and "Dancing with the Stars."

Johnny Manziel's agent has just officially cut ties with the embattled QB -- with Erik Burkhardt telling Adam Schefter he feels the relationship has reached the point of no return.

"It is with deep regret that, after several emotional and very personal discussions with his family, his doctors, and my client himself, I have made the decision to terminate my professional relationship with Johnny Manziel."

"Though I will remain a friend and Johnny supporter and he knows I have worked tirelessly to arrange a number of professional options for him to continue to pursue, it has become painfully obvious that his future rests solely in his own hands."

"His family and I have gone to great lengths to outline the steps we feel he must take to get his life in order."

"Accountability is the foundation of any relationship and without it, the function of my work is counterproductive. I truly wish the best for Johnny and sincerely hope he can, and will, find the kind of peace and happiness he deserves."

The move comes one day after cops released a police report which shows Manziel's ex-GF, Colleen Crowley, accused him of striking her several times and threatening to kill them during an argument last weekend.

A massive crane careened to the ground in New York City Friday, killing one person and injuring at least 15 others, and flattening cars and other property.

The crane stretched more than a New York City block. It happened in the TriBeCa area of New York at 8:30 AM, smack in the middle of rush hour.

Authorities fear there may be other casualties buried under the rubble. Emergency responders are searching cars.

BMX bike legend Dave Mirra -- who once had the record for the most X Games medals -- has died of an apparent suicide ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Cops say the 41 year old's body was found in his truck in Greenville, North Carolina Thursday with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

We're told he had been in the area visiting with friends.

Mirra leaves a wife and two kids.

Officials tell TMZ Sports cops are investigating the death.

Earlier Thursday, a photo of Mirra and his wife together appeared on Dave's Instagram account with the caption, "My Rock! Thank god."

Mirra hosted 2 seasons of 'Real World/Road Rules Challenge' on MTV -- and was the namesake of several BMX video games.

Mirra also drove for Subaru rally car racing team.

Dave's good friend and fellow BMX legend T.J. Lavin tells us ... "I just wish he would have called me. I would have jumped on a plane in a second. There's always another way. If anyone needs help, just please get it. I feel sick about this."

The night Johnny Manziel allegedly hit his girlfriend, Colleen Crowley ... one of her Dallas neighbors called 911 to report hearing Colleen's screams.

TMZ Sports obtained the 911 call the woman made, and she calmly says she went outside when she heard Colleen in distress. She says Colleen said her boyfriend had "beat her up."

You win ... you get roasted -- and Thursday, the Golden State Warriors became targets for the comedic stylings of President Barack Obama!!

It's pretty funny -- the entire team arrived to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave to be honored by POTUS ... and Obama delivered zinger after zinger, targeting everyone from Steph Curry to Klay Thompson.

Really, the only person who got some love was Steph's daughter Riley (besides Steve Kerr who got props for being on the Bulls).
