The Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors could be interested in signing Blake Griffin, according to NBA reporter Sam Amico of HoopsWire. Griffin, 34, is currently an unrestricted free agent. He appeared in 41 games for the Boston Celtics last season.
Griffin averaged 4.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists for the Celtics while shooting 48.5% from the field, 34.8% from beyond the arc and 65.6% from the free-throw line. The Oklahoma product has career NBA averages of 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 765 games with the Clippers, Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets and Celtics.
While he’s no longer a superstar in the NBA, Griffin can still provide quality minutes as a reserve. The Celtics, who lost to the Miami Heat in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals in seven games, are interested in re-signing Griffin, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.
“The Celtics, league sources say, have interest in re-signing Blake Griffin,” Stein wrote. “Less clear is Griffin’s stance, at 34, on returning to Boston for a 15th NBA season. Griffin signed with the Celtics in early October after training camp had already begun and appeared in just one playoff game after playing in 41 regular-season games.”
It’s going to be interesting to see where Griffin is playing next season. The six-time NBA All-Star has made over $258 million in his career. His former team, the Clippers, lost to the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the 2023 playoffs. Meanwhile, the Sixers lost to the Celtics in the second round and the Warriors fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round.
