Blake Griffin expressed an interest in playing for Team USA at the 2016 Olympics.

"Yeah, absolutely, it's something that I want to do," Griffin said. "Obviously it's a great honor.”

Griffin was in Team USA’s training camp in preparation for the last Olympics.

Griffin was considered to have a good chance to make the team, but had to drop out due to a left knee injury that required surgery.

“I was really looking forward to playing last year,” Griffin said. “It was very disappointing not being able to be there. I kind of turned my sights to getting back healthy. So my next goal for that is 2016.

"They talked about it last summer when I got hurt, about me coming back and being involved in the process over the next four summers.”
