Men’s hoops: Blake Griffin (non)update
By Scott Wright
There’s been lots of talk today about the possibility that Blake Griffin could be back early from his injury. After visiting with Blake and coach Jeff Capel today before the Sooners practiced, here’s what I can tell you.
Blake has done some shooting and dribbling drills with the team the last couple days and he went through the pre-practice stretching for the first time today — even did a little jogging.
He says the knee is more flexible now, especially after having it drained of fluid Monday. He also said it might have to be drained again.
Capel, Griffin and team trainer Alex Brown all agree that the timetable for his return to action is not currently known, so it isn’t any different than the initial diagnosis. That means he could still be looking at up to 2 1/2 weeks before he gets back.
I’m not a doctor, but I did drive past a few Holiday Inns last night, so if he were to return a week early — say, the week of Feb. 4 – it wouldn’t surpirse me.
Anyone saying he’ll definitely be back by the Feb. 2 game against Texas A&M is getting ahead of himself.
