The Clippers have gone 10-8 without Griffin, who had an arthroscopic procedure on Dec. 20 to remove loose bodies from his right knee.
“I’m as close as you can feel,” Griffin said Saturday, according to ESPN.com’s Kevin Arnovitz.
The Clippers are still without star point guard Chris Paul, who is expected to be sidelined six to eight weeks following surgery on his left thumb, but Griffin’s return to lineup should provide a much-needed boost to the team. Prior to getting injured, the five-time All-Star averaged 21.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 26 games.
