**Was Khris able to go today?**
> Not live on the court, but he’s been very productive with his individual workouts and he’s been working his way towards getting back to more 5-on-5 live basketball.
**So, what he’s done the last few days has not been a surprise to you? Because he said he has no pain and feels great at media day.**
> No, no. We got time on our side. We’re just being smart and he’s been working diligently to get back, so that’s the plan.
**What is ailing him? Does it have to do with the knee?**
> Just us being smart. Just not rushing the process. He’s doing great.
**Is it fair to say the plan is October 26th, Khris will be ready to go?**
> Just day-by-day. Just taking it one day at a time right now, but he’s progressing beautifully. We’re just being smart right now.
**Does this feel like something you’re going to have to manage all year? Like it is a problem that you’re going to have to work through and manage all year?**
> What kind of problem?
**The fact that he’s not practicing right now and you’re trying to ramp him up.**
> Who?
**Khris. Is whatever he’s dealing with a long-term concern that might keep popping up for Khris?**
> What popping up for Khris?
**I’m trying to figure out why he’s not practicing.**
> He’s not practicing live, but he is progressing. And we’re taking it day-by-day and we’re just being smart with him. And we’re not rushing the process.
**Is it fair to say he is not cleared for 3-on-3, 5-on-5 yet? And that’s what you’re waiting for?**
> He’s cleared to be where he’s supposed to be and he’s right on time.

lol at this conversation
PRACTICE???
Definitely a little cryptic, but it’s still so early I don’t know that I’d worry about the start of the season.
They had an issue last year when he ramped up too fast last year so I’m sure they’re just being cautious.
Starting to see why people can’t stand Adrian Griffin.
People that pretend to be dumb to avoid answering a question are annoying af.
Clippers fans always complain about a “lack of transparency” around injuries…this here is more opaque than anything I’ve seen from Ty Lue!
We doing load management in training camp now
Is griffin gonna be this annoying all year?
Oh, so this guy sucks?
I sorta love this if this is how Griffin is going to address the press all year.
Intentionally ignorant is a card not played enough by coaches attempting to be evasive. Kerr does it sometimes and it usually works.
Lol why are y’all so annoyed by everything? He’s the coach. He can answer whichever way he wants to, this sub loves to bitch about nothing.
I get that the dude didn’t like the question but god damn just say “I can’t answer that right now” instead of playing games like a child.
We went from playing random to being smart
Oh yeah, league fucked
[Disturbance in the kitchen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjaHrp6JtyY) vibes.
LOL I’d love to hear the audio of this.
Reporters love to make something out of nothing and you all eat it up
Would’ve walked away as soon as this MFer said “Who?”
Coaches need to be cussed at more
If Khris is perpetually hurt again they are not better than Boston, Miami, Denver or Phoenix. Maybe even LAL.
Dame making things uncomfortable
Surely, there is a copypasta possibly mixed in there.
One might say Griffin was being smart with him
Dame and Giannis went on a solo date to build chemistry. I heard it was go-karts
I love this response from Griffin. Give only the information you want to give and completely ignore the media’s attempts to squeeze out more. Great stuff.
He’s night by night.
“Play Dumb.”
> Who?
“Not That Dumb!”
Adrian Griffin: “I’ll do you one better… Why is Khris?”
“He’s cleared to be where he’s supposed to be”
Dude missed his calling in life as a lawyer.
Who?
After the fourth time he talked about how smart they were being I don’t think I could’ve physically prevented myself from laughing out loud
That’s a bad look for a rookie coach I gotta be honest
AI vibes
>He’s cleared to be where he’s supposed to be and he’s right on time.
​
Love it, coach.
I would’ve given anything to see “Khris who” after the first “Who”
Adrian Mourinho
Reporter trying to manufacture something where nothing exists.
Did Dame take front office obfuscation with him?
Who?
What in the hell
>**Is it fair to say he is not cleared for 3-on-3, 5-on-5 yet? And that’s what you’re waiting for?**
>

This convo is so silly
I’m surprised he’s not from the Popovich coaching tree after reading this.
It’s not Griffin’s fault. He wasn’t allowed to talk to the media as an assistant under Nick Nurse.
This reads like the opening dialogue between the GOPs attempt at impeaching Biden and the NBC reporter
