Clippers expect Blake Griffin (knee) to return to lineup on Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Blake Griffin (knee) will "most likely" play on Tuesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers according to head coach Doc Rivers.

What It Means:

Rivers previously stated that he doesn't want Griffin to be limited upon his return, so expecting him to be a full go on Tuesday night if he plays. Griffin's return will mean less opportunity for Luc Mbah a Moute, Marreese Speights, Brandon Bass and Austin Rivers.

Griffin's 2.5 nERD this season ranks 45th in the NBA and fourth among Clippers players. He's averaging 21.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.7 minutes per contest, while his .480 field goal percentage is a career-low.
