Los Angeles Clippers rookie forward Blake Griffin underwent a CT Scan and MRI of the stress fracture of his left patella yesterday.

In addition to his continued strength and conditioning work, Griffin has been cleared to begin running on an AlterG Anti-Gravity treadmill beginning today and is expected to begin running on a normal full-body weight treadmill next week.

Based on expected progression, Griffin is expected to be cleared for a return to basketball related activity in approximately three weeks.

Griffin, the first overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft, suffered a non-displaced stress fracture of his left patella during the Clippers’ last preseason game vs. the New Orleans Hornets on Friday, October 23rd.

I think Blake does his best to get back as early as possible so I think Jan.15th will be that date.

It says basketball related activities in three weeks, which is around January 15th.

Though, basketball related activities doesn't means that he'll be back on the court. It means that he'll be able to start participating in practise(step by step) as he tries to get in game shape.

So the news is, that he'll be back training in mid January, but that we're looking at around the end of January or even the All-Star break as possible return dates for Griffin.

Well that's pretty much that for this season's playoff hopes.
I really like 1840s merchant vessels. Basketball on the other hand, I can take it or leave it...
