Blake Griffin apologized Tuesday for punching a Los Angeles Clippers staff member last month, saying he wishes he could take back the incident that left him with a broken right hand and the employee with facial injuries.

Griffin was suspended four games and docked five games’ pay totaling $859,442 for the altercation with Matias Testi at a Toronto restaurant on Jan. 23.

Griffin is expected to be sidelined until next month by his injury and ensuing suspension.

He wore a black wrap on his hand at practice on Tuesday.

‘‘It’s something I think about every day and wish I could take it back, and I’ve told Matias that,’’ Griffin said in his first meeting with reporters since the incident. ‘‘I have talked to Matias tons of times since the incident. He actually said it best: ‘This stuff happens and we’re like brothers and we just have to move on.’?’’

Coach Doc Rivers said the team wasn’t trading Griffin despite rumors to the contrary. It’s likely both Griffin and Testi will rejoin the team Thursday when it hosts San Antonio in the Clippers’ first game since the All-Star break.

Griffin initially took to Twitter to apologize. He said he had already done so with his teammates and management.

‘‘It’s something that I feel awful about, something that I haven’t had to deal with ever before in life and it’s been tough,’’ he said. ‘‘But now that the NBA has done their due diligence and the Clippers and I have my punishment, I’m looking forward to just moving on and moving past this and getting back on the court with our teammates.’’

Heat still mum on Bosh

The Heat resumed practice Wednesday without All-Star Chris Bosh, and neither he nor the team have revealed that he has a blood clot.

A person with knowledge of the situation told the AP on Tuesday that Bosh is on blood-thinning medication again to combat a clot in his leg.

‘‘None of us are doctors,’’ Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. ‘‘A lot of people hear speculation on a lot of guys. I was around him, got a lot of opportunity to talk to him, to share things, and his spirits are very high. He’s doing everything he can to make sure that he figures going on within himself, but he’s very positive.’’

All the Heat will say is that Bosh will not play Friday in Atlanta, and Bosh’s lone comment so far came on Snapchat — where he posted the Kendrick Lamar lyric, ‘‘We gonna be all right.’’

‘‘He will be with us shortly,’’ Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Bosh was declared out for the remainder of last season at the All-Star break when a clot was found on one of his lungs, a scare that threatened his career and his life.

Splitter to miss Olympics

Tiago Splitter won’t be able to play for the home team at the Rio Olympics. The Hawks center said he will need eight months to recover from hip surgery, costing him a spot on the Brazilian national team this summer. Splitter said, ‘‘Everybody wants to play in the Olympics when you’re playing at home. It’s really hard’’ to sit out the Games, which begin Aug. 5. After missing six games before the All-Star break, Splitter decided surgery was the best option . . . Jazz president Randy Rigby said he plans to retire from the position at the end of the season. Rigby will be replaced by Steve Starks.
