Dunleavy: Griffin close to practicing
Injured Los Angeles Clippers rookie Blake Griffin might finally join his teammates in practice later this week, but only for running and shooting, coach Mike Dunleavy told the Los Angeles Times.Griffin, the former Oklahoma star who was the NBA’s No. 1 draft pick, is still waiting to make his debut after suffering a stress fracture in his left kneecap.
He has been steadily rehabilitating the knee, but no timetable has been set for when he’ll play his first regular-season game or, for that matter, when he’ll first practice when contact with other players is involved.
But Griffin is nearly ready to join his teammates for a so-called "5 and 0” practice drill, in which "we have our team running up and down full court, full speed, running plays and things of that nature" without a defense on the court, Dunleavy told the Times.
"I would assume that to be, like, next week at some point,” Dunleavy said.
