Griffin has played in six games for the College Park Skyhawks and is averaging 14 PPG while shooting 43% from the field and 40% from three.
Yesterday, Atlanta provided an update on Mouhamed Gueye, their second round pick from the 2023 draft:
"Forward Mouhamed Gueye injured his right elbow/forearm during Tuesday’s College Park Skyhawks game at Indiana, while on G League assignment. An MRI taken yesterday in Chicago revealed an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) sprain. Gueye will return to Atlanta to begin rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated in seven-to-10 days. An update will be provided as appropriate."
The Clippers beat the Hawks in Atlanta in the first matchup, but that was a fully healthy Hawks team. Atlanta is going to be a heavy underdog if the Clippers are healthy tomorrw and it will be tough for the Hawks to get a win.
