On minutes restriction Gordon will be on a minutes restriction Sunday against the Thunder, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Gordon is making his return to the lineup after missing the last three games due to a groin issue. The 35-year-old pro will be limited in his minutes as the team eases him back into action.

Won't play Saturday Gordon (groin) won't play Saturday against the Rockets, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

Impact The veteran sharpshooter will miss a third consecutive game with a nagging groin injury, but the Suns will get a much-needed boost on offense with the expected return of Bradley Beal, who had been out recently due to a hamstring problem. Royce O'Neal is expected to receive most of Gordon's minutes, though he'll likely play off the bench with Beal expected back in the starting unit. Gordon's next chance to play will come in the second half of a back-to-back set against the Thunder on Sunday.

Considered questionable Gordon (groin) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Gordon has missed back-to-back games due to a groin injury. Bradley Beal (hamstring) is expected to return from a five-game absence Saturday, so Gordon's potential absence wouldn't be as significant. Royce O'Neale has been playing well, but his playing time would presumably take a hit if both Gordon and Beal are available versus Houston.

Out again Thursday Gordon (groin) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact This will be Gordon's second straight game on the sidelines, and with both him and Bradley Beal (hamstring) inactive, Royce O'Neale could be headed for another spot start. O'Neale put up 20 points, nine rebounds, four assists, six triples, two steals and a block over 37 minutes in his previous outing, so if he draws another start, he'd make sense as a streaming target. As for Gordon, his next chance to play will come Saturday, and for now, he should be considered questionable for that one.

Starting for Phoenix Gordon will move into the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
