Griffin, who injured his left knee four days before camp opened, will not play against the Warriors but could be cleared for contact in practice in a few days. Also sitting out will be backup point guard Sebastian Telfair, who was acquired in a four-player deal with Minnesota in July. Telfair injured his left foot during a drill at camp.
Joining them on the injured list is the veteran big man, 35-year-old Marcus Camby, who suffered a hyperextended left knee at practice Friday. He did not take part in Saturday's lone session at Playa Vista and watched from the sideline.
Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy said Camby was questionable for tonight's game.
"He came down on a rebound and there was no contact, no bumps," Dunleavy said. "He just landed wrong and went down to the ground, which was a little scary."
Most Improved Player
Dunleavy and the longest-tenured Clipper, Chris Kaman, had more or less the same answer when asked which player had jumped out at camp in terms of improvement.
The irrepressible Jordan. The kid who is capable of a making a spectacular play and missing a wide-open dunk within a matter of minutes.
"He's just so young and even in his one year at [Texas] A&M, he didn't play a lot of minutes," Kaman said.
Said Dunleavy: "The biggest jump anybody has taken is DeAndre. He's had lot of really good minutes. What he still runs into [is] where he lets his emotions take over for him at times. Where he gets a bad call or something and it affects the next two plays."
