Ruled out for season Gordon (groin/rest) has been ruled out for the rest of the season, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Gordon was slated to miss his third straight game Wednesday -- one due to rest and the following two due to a groin issue -- and an update like this appeared imminent with only two weeks remaining in the regular season. The 33-year-old finished the campaign averaging 13.4 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 29.3 minutes across 57 appearances. Houston also ruled out fellow veterans Dennis Schroder (shoulder) and Christian Wood (hamstring) for the season as well. In their absences, the Rockets' youthful reserves -- led by Alperen Sengun (leg), Garrison Mathews and Josh Christopher -- will likely all get plenty of looks during the remainder of the season.

Ruled out Gordon (groin) will not play Monday against the Spurs, Jackson Gatlin of Locked On Rockets reports.
Impact In the midst of another late-season tank, the Rockets will hold Gordon, Dennis Schroder (shoulder) and Christian Wood (hamstring) out of action Monday. All three players could essentially be considered questionable on a game-by-game basis through the end of the regular season.

Questionable for Monday Gordon is questionable for Monday's contest against the Spurs due to right groin soreness.
Impact Gordon sat out Saturday's win over Portland due to rest purposes, but the veteran is now dealing with a groin injury. If he's sidelined again, Garrison Mathews figures to be the primary beneficiary.

Not listed on injury report Gordon (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Spurs, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Impact Gordon sat out Saturday's win over Portland for rest purposes, and as expected, he will be back in mix Monday. Over his last three appearances, the veteran has averaged 7.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assist in 23.3 minutes per game.

Ruled out Saturday Gordon is out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers due to rest purposes, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Impact Gordon has averaged 7.3 points in 23.3 minutes per game across his last three appearances, but he'll be held out in the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday. Garrison Mathews, David Nwaba and Josh Christopher should see additional run against Portland.

Struggles from floor in loss Gordon notched two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 110-91 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Gordon only converted one field goal in Wednesday's loss, which matched his worst total of the season. It was a huge regression from Monday's game where he returned from a four-game absence with a 15-point effort. He'll try to right the ship Friday in a potential win spot against Portland.
MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Posts 15 points in return Gordon closed with 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Monday's 115-97 win over the Wizards.
Impact Gordon returned to action with a solid night of shooting, and he was able to log 25 minutes on the court after dealing with a non-COVID illness. Gordon's return sent Garrison Mathews back to the bench, and the starting job should remain in Gordon's hands as the season comes to a close.

Good to go vs. Wiz Gordon (illness) will be available for Monday's game against the Wizards, Cayleigh Griffin of ATT SportsNet Southwest reports.
Impact An illness kept Gordon out of four straight games, but he's finally been cleared to take the floor for the first time since March 11. The oft-injured veteran has missed 10 of Houston's last 19 games, but he's already logged his most appearances (54) since the 2018-19 campaign.

Questionable for Monday's contest Gordon (illness) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Wizards.
Impact Gordon has already missed four consecutive games due to an illness and is in jeopardy of missing a fifth. The questionable tag doesn't offer much optimism as the veteran has drawn the same designation in each of the previous three contests. If he's sidelined again, Garrison Mathews figures to draw another start.

Still out Sunday Gordon (illness) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Impact Gordon will be sidelined for the fourth straight game as he continues to manage a non-COVID illness. He should be considered questionable for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday against the Wizards. Garrison Mathews is likely to receive another start in his absence.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Remains questionable for Sunday Gordon (illness) is questionable to play against the Grizzlies on Sunday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Gordon has missed three straight games due to a non-COVID illness, and his status remains in question for Sunday's contest. That game is the first of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets may opt to hold the veteran out until Monday even if he is feeling better. Garrison Mathews has started each of Houston's past three games in Gordon's stead.

Questionable Friday Gordon (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers. Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Knee tendinitis and an illness have kept Gordon out over the past two games, but he's apparently feeling a bit better. He has a chance to return Friday, but fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up regarding a long streak of games played. Gordon hasn't played four games in a row since Jan. 28 through Feb. 4.
