Griffin has played in only 18 games this season for the Pistons. He had surgery on the same knee during this past off-season.
Griffin, 30, has averaged 15.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists this season. The Pistons are 13-24 -- three games behind the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Detroit made the playoffs last year as the No. 8 seed, only to be swept by the Bucks in the first round.
The news comes amid rumors of a possible trade for Andre Drummond, who can become a free agent this summer. Atlanta, Dallas, Toronto and Boston are reportedly interested.
