Blake Griffin is expected to return from his knee surgery on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Griffin underwent an arthroscopic procedure Dec. 20 to remove loose bodies from his right knee.
The Clippers have compiled a 10-8 record while he has been sidelined.
Griffin, who has been traveling with the team on this road trip and got in some work Monday, made his first public comments since the surgery on Saturday in Denver, saying, "I'm as close as you can feel."
As Griffin rehabilitated the knee in recent weeks, he said his lateral mobility and ability to pivot were the greatest challenges defensively, and his capacity to attack offensively was another point of emphasis in workouts.
