Detroit Pistons head coach Dwane Casey says star small forward Blake Griffin will be a game-time decision for Game 4 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.
Griffin still has soreness and discomfort in his left knee. He played in Game 3 after missing Games 1 and 2 and finished with 27 points, seven rebounds and six assists in 30 minutes. The Pistons, however, still lost.
Despite being listed as probable, Dwane Casey said Blake Griffin is still a game-time decision.

If the Pistons lose on Monday, their season will be over. Detroit got swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 playoffs as well.
Griffin averaged 24.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game in the regular season. The All-Star forward shot 46.2 percent from the field, 36.2 percent from beyond the arc and 75.3 percent from the free-throw line.
No one gave the Pistons a shot to win this series against the Bucks. The fact that Griffin was able to put up 27 points in Game 3 is pretty remarkable considering he's not even close to being 100 percent. Even if Griffin was 100 percent, the Bucks would still easily win this series, as they have more talent than Detroit.
Griffin's frontcourt mate Andre Drummond has really struggled in the series. He's averaging 14.0 points and 13.3 rebounds, but shooting just 44.7 percent from the floor. Drummond shot 53.3 percent overall during the regular season.
