Blake Griffin will resume his season on Sunday and will play despite a tear remaining in his quad.

Griffin has been out for more than three months with the quad injury, a broken hand and a four-game suspension.

"It just wasn't being allowed to heal," Griffin said before practice. "So, the tear's still there. It's just about managing the pain and getting through this. ... It's not like a new tear or re-tearing my [quad] in different places. It wasn't allowing the initial injury to completely heal."

Griffin suffered the quad injury on Christmas and was close to returning from that injury before he broke his hand punching the Clippers' equipment manager.

"I don't want to say misdiagnosed, but it wasn't doing the right things, I guess? We weren't addressing the initial problem -- the main problem," Griffin said. "So, everything I was doing was putting more stress on my [quad]. A small tear became a three-month thing because I wasn't doing the right thing until we figured it out."
