LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon will be out for at least 10 days with a sore left groin muscle.

Gordon is Los Angeles' second-leading scorer this season with 18.9 points per game. He was hurt in the fourth quarter of Saturday's victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, and he missed Monday's loss to New Orleans.

Rasual Butler took Gordon's place in the starting lineup against the Hornets, scoring 14 points. Gordon had played more than 38 minutes per game this season for the Clippers.

Los Angeles hosts Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.
