Blake Griffin has increased the intensity of his workouts as he tries to return from a nearly month-long absence caused by a partially torn left quadriceps tendon.

Griffin could return as soon as Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers when the Los Angeles Clippers return home.

“We’re not going to rush it, I can tell you that,” Rivers said of Griffin's return.

The Clippers have gone 10-2 during Griffin’s absence.
