ERIC GORDON NEWS

Out Wednesday Gordon won't play Wednesday against the Suns due to a non-COVID illness, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Impact Gordon was initially listed on the injury report with a knee issue, but it appears that he'll ultimately miss a second straight game due to a non-COVID illness. As a result, Garrison Mathews will likely pick up another start in his place. Depending on his health, Gordon's next opportunity to return will come Friday against the Pacers.

Questionable for Wednesday's game Gordon (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Suns, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Impact Gordon was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's loss to the Pelicans and is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive contest. If he's sidelined again, Garrison Mathews figures to draw another start.

Scratched from lineup Sunday Gordon (knee) has been scratched from Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 in Houston reports.

Impact The Rockets initially announced Gordon as a starter at small forward, but just a few minutes before the scheduled tip time, the team updated its starting lineup and ruled the veteran out due to a knee issue. Garrison Mathews will get the start in Gordon's place.

Will start Wednesday Gordon is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Gordon will rejoin the starting five after missing Monday's game against the Heat due to a hamstring injury. As a result, Garrison Mathews will move to the bench. Gordon is averaging 13.9 points, 2.8 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 29.6 minutes per game this season.

Clear of injury report Gordon (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gordon sat out the second half of a back-to-back set Monday against the Heat, and he's unsurprisingly good to go for Wednesday's contest. The veteran guard has averaged 12.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 30.7 minutes while shooting 38 percent from the field over his past seven games.

Ruled out Monday Gordon won't play in Monday's game against Miami due to a hamstring injury, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Impact As has been the case for most of the season, the Rockets will hold Gordon out for one half of a back-to-back set after he played 31 minutes in Sunday's surprising 123-112 win over Memphis. Garrison Mathews will likely enter the starting five Monday in place of Gordon, who finished Sunday's game with 12 points, six rebounds, two assists and three turnovers in 31 minutes.

Mitchell, Conley lead Jazz to 132-127 OT win over Rockets

Won't play Wednesday Gordon has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Jazz due to right groin soreness, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rockets head coach Stephen Silas intimated prior to Tuesday's contest that Gordon would likely be held out of the second half of the Rockets' back-to-back due to rest purposes, so while he's labeled with a groin injury, the absence isn't expected to be anything more than a veteran's day off. Regardless, in his stead, Garrison Mathews (ankle), Josh Christopher and David Nwaba are all candidates for increased roles.

Impact Gordon will be available for Tuesday's contest, but as has been the case for much of the season, the veteran will likely be held out of one half of the back-to-back set for maintenance purposes. Gordon has not played in both halves of a back-to-back since Dec. 22 and 23.

Not on injury report Gordon (groin) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Magic, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gordon missed the Rockets' final game before the break due to soreness in his groin, but Houston was on the second leg of a back-to-back, so it's likely he was simply being held out for maintenance purposes. In any case, the veteran guard will likely be back in the starting lineup Friday.

Unavailable Thursday Gordon has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers due to right groin soreness.

Impact Gordon logged 38 minutes of playing time during Wednesday's loss to Phoenix, but he'll sit out the team's last game prior to the All-Star break. Garrison Mathews, David Nwaba and Josh Christopher should see increased run against the Clippers.

Pops for 20 in loss Gordon scored 20 points (8-24 FG, 3-14 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding two rebounds, two assists and a block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 124-121 loss to the Suns.

Impact Given his inefficiency, the Rockets might have been better off if some of Gordon's attempts went elsewhere, but shooters gonna shoot. It's the first time the veteran wing has reached 20 points since he dropped 31 on the Spurs on Jan. 12, and in 11 games since that outburst Gordon is averaging a sluggish 12.5 points, 3.0 boards, 1.9 threes and 1.7 assists, although he did miss a few games during that stretch with a heel injury.

Scores 14 points in return Gordon (heel) racked up 14 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Monday's 135-101 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Gordon was back in action following a three-game absence due to a heel injury. The veteran didn't appear rusty from deep, making half of his six three-point attempts. Gordon is averaging over two-plus triples per game for the eighth straight season, but his peripheral stats are so minimal that he's no better than a low-end fantasy asset in most leagues.

Officially cleared Gordon (heel) will play Monday against Utah, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Gordon has officially received the green light to return following a three-game absence due to a heel injury. He figures to return to the starting lineup considering he's started every game he's been active for the Rockets since Nov. 17.
