Don't expect to see Blake Griffin on the court for at least another few weeks.
The Clippers forward is still rehabilitating a torn quadriceps and will be sidelined until April, CBS Sports reported Wednesday.

Griffin has made progress in his workouts, according to the report, but hasn't yet been cleared to practice. He is also nursing a broken right hand, which he sustained from fighting a team staffer in January.
The Clippers have fared relatively well without Griffin, who hasn't played since December. Los Angeles has gone 25-11 in his absence, and holds a 3 1/2 game lead over Memphis for fourth place in the Western Conference. But the team is coming off a 21-point loss to the Spurs on Tuesday and clearly lags behind San Antonio and the Warriors as the Western Conference's top contenders.
"We don't look at the big picture right now because we're not good enough to do that without (Griffin)," Clippers coach Doc Rivers told reporters after the loss to the Spurs.
Before his injuries, Griffin averaged 23.2 points and 8.7 rebounds per game this season.
