After missing 10 games to start the season, Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin plans to make his season debut against Minnesota on Monday, league sources tell ESPN.
Griffin, who's been rehabilitating a sore knee and hamstring since preseason, had been ramping up for a return in recent days. He had several pain-free practices that cleared the way for Griffin to return to the lineup.
Griffin, 30, had a left knee procedure after last season. He was a third-team All-NBA selection a season ago.
Markieff Morris has been starting in Griffin's place.
