Report: Gordon likely to sit Wed. due to knee
Eric Gordon - G - New Orleans Hornets
Feb. 20, 2013 - 4:10 AM ET
Eric Gordon, who scored 20 points on Tuesday, doesn't sound likely to play on Wednesday against Cleveland due to medical requirements regarding his troublesome knee.
Sam Amico's original tweet appeared to suggest Gordon was being held out of Wednesday's game due to a potential trade to the Warriors, but it makes more sense that his knee simply won't allow him to play in back-to-backs. We had already suggested that Gordon might not play tonight, so the trade talk is just that - talk. Bench Gordon for now and look for Austin Rivers to get the start, although he has been inconsistent when given opportunities this season.
