(AP) -- Los Angeles Clippers center Michael Olowokandi left Monday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies with a sprained left knee. The extent of the injury was not immediately known, but Olowokandi is doubtful for Tuesday night's game at Houston. Olowokandi left with just under eight minutes to play in the third quarter and did not return. He finished with four points and six rebounds in 22 minutes of a 90-77 victory. The 7-foot center, the first overall pick in the 1998 draft, is in his fourth season out of Pacific. He entered the game averaging 8.9 points and 8.6 rebounds. He was second on the team with 107 blocks. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/sports/bk/bkn/1271410 Probables Rockets rookie forward Eddie Griffin had another first experience on Saturday, missing a game because of an injury or illness for the first time. He returned to practice on Monday, but forward Kenny Thomas missed Monday's practice with the flu. Both are considered probable for tonight's game against the Clippers. "It was tough to miss because I wanted to be out there," Griffin said. "But it was a good win. I think we're playing better together."
