Clippers' Blake Griffin: Will play Monday

Griffin (knee) will play in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Rowan Kavner of Clippers.com reports.

Analysis:

Griffin was listed as probable after being held out in Saturday's win over the Pelicans as a precautionary measure, so as expected, he'll be cleared to return to the court Monday. It's expected that he'll start at power forward as he usually does, and given the brevity of his absence, he shouldn't face any playing-time restrictions.
