Blake Griffin will remain out of the Detroit Pistons’ lineup as the two sides try to work on a resolution to his situation, as he wants to play for a contender and the Pistons are focusing on the development of their young players.
Griffin has two years left on a deal he signed with the Los Angeles Clippers before being traded to Detroit in 2017, being owed $36.8 million this season and he has a player option for $39 million next season — making a buyout an option if they cannot find a trade partner.
