The Clippers will need both of their stars firing all season to even be competitive with the Lakers in the Pacific Division next season, while Chris Paul is out until the beginning of the regular season following thumb surgery, Blake Griffin says he’s back to 100% after his knee operation.
“I came back after surgery and started rehabbing and getting back into it. I’ve been shooting and lifting [weights] and all that for a while now,” Griffin told The L.A. Times in telephone interview Friday. “So, I’m pretty much back at 100%, been back at 100% for a little bit. So I’m good.
“We’re kind of taking our time with it and really making sure we meet every single area and making sure that my strength is 100% back to where it needs to be. But it’s been there for two or three weeks now. So, really, I’m just kind of working myself into condition and still getting my basketball work in and getting my lifts in.”
