Detroit's Blake Griffin (knee) 'ready to get back to playing'

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) said on Monday he is ready to return after undergoing surgery in January.

What It Means:

Griffin is feeling healthy after missing extended time with a left knee injury. “I feel great," said the Pistons' star when asked about his status. "I’ve basically been cleared for a while now, I just have been stuck in my house. So, I’m ready to go whenever things pick back up. I’m just working out and trying to stay ready and stay sane. So it’s nice to be healthy, though.”

Expect Griffin to ultimately speak with the Pistons about his short and long term future especially considering the franchise's recent rebuilding efforts. In just 18 games this season, the 31-year old averaged a career-low 15.5 points on a Field Goal Percentage of 35.2%.
