Clippers’ Griffin says he’s training 100 percent

NEW YORK (AP) — Clippers forward Blake Griffin says he has been working out 100 percent for about a month and a half as he recovers from surgery on his left kneecap. He has played with teammate Chris Kaman.

Griffin says he has “shaken up some of the rust and gotten some of the rhythm back.”

Griffin missed his entire rookie season after fracturing his kneecap in October. He had surgery in January.

Griffin says he will not play in the NBA summer league. He will, however, practice with the team in Las Vegas.

The Clippers have the No. 8 pick in Thursday’s draft. Griffin says he is not sure of any deals the Clippers might make with free agents. He says he will “wait to find out” what moves the front office makes.

Griffin was the No. 1 pick last year out of Oklahoma.
