Blake Griffin’s Return
Griffin is expected to return sometime before the end of January, but how close to 100 percent is he going to be? He is doing cardio and has been warming up and taking shots before recent games.

It will definitely help to have Blake back because he was third in MVP voting a few years back when Chris was hurt, showing what he can do alone.
I believe it will take some time and he should possibly only miss the next three or four games and even play a game before the Golden State Warriors game on the 28th of January. Do you play him before or after that game? He is coming off one of the worst games he’s played the last time both teams played in early December. The mental aspect of the game is always one of the hardest for players to come back from injury.
If possible I would say to bring Blake back slowly and make sure there is no little hiccups in his rehab and continue to monitor how he feels day-to-day.

The LA Clippers need Griffin back in the mix to allow time for him to get back to where he was and give him time to get back into the flow. Luckily All-Star weekend is coming up and it will allow more time for injuries and time for rust to be shaken off for Griffin.
