Blake Griffin To Start For Clippers In First Game Back From Knee Surgery

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Clippers forward Blake Griffin will be in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Tonight's game marks the first for Griffin since Dec. 18 after an 18-game absence following minor surgery on his right knee.

He's expected to play limited minutes even as guard Chris Paul remains sidelined until next month while he recovers from a broken thumb, according to Clippers beat writer Dan Woike.
