Griffin (ankle) scored three points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and added four rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes in Friday's 109-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin made his first appearance for Atlanta since the All-Star break and his first at any level since March 5, when he suited up for the G League's College Park Skyhawks. The second-year wing missed over five weeks with a right ankle sprain, but he was able to make it back for the Hawks' penultimate game of the regular season. With the Hawks announcing Thursday that Jalen Johnson will miss at least three weeks with a Grade 2 ankle sprain, Griffin could retain a spot in the rotation heading into Sunday's game at Indiana, as well as for the duration of the Hawks' run in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament.

Griffin (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing a lengthy period with a right ankle sprain. However, the 20-year-old forward is unlikely to be a significant factor in Atlanta's rotation.

Griffin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin hasn't played since he suited up for the G League's College Park Skyhawks in early March, but it's encouraging to see him questionable for Friday's matchup. Even if he's cleared to return for the penultimate game of the regular season, it seems unlikely that he'll see much playing time.

Griffin (ankle) won't be available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis

Griffin (ankle) will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days.
EDGE Analysis
This rules Griffin out until at least April 9 against the Heat. Griffin hasn't been able to crack the rotation this season, so his status won't matter much in fantasy hoops.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers with a right lower leg/right ankle contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin continues to miss time due to the injury and doesn't have a return timetable. Even when healthy, he likely won't factor into Atlanta's end-of-season rotation.
