Yes: The answer is yes. Injury to an area increases blood supply, brings inflammatory cells ; chemicals into the area, and for bone or ligament injuries, the formation of a bone spur is not unusual.

Around how long does it take a bone spur to grow on a facet joint after an injury?

May never grow: A bone spur is generally a result of chronic, long term wear and tear, not necessarily an acute injury.
