Detroit — The wait is over for Blake Griffin.

After missing the first nine games of the season because of knee and hamstring issues, the Detroit Pistons star has been cleared to resume all basketball activities.

The team announced that Griffin “has begun a return to game action progression” and that his status is day-to-day.

The Pistons have started 4-5 this season without Griffin and it’s unclear when he could be ready to play in games, but it could be in the coming days, as the Pistons travel to play the Indiana Pacers on Friday and a back-to-back Monday at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves and Tuesday at the Miami Heat.
