GORDON TO HAVE SURGERY, OUT ANOTHER SIX WEEKS New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon will miss another six weeks after he undergoes arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Tuesday.Gordon first suffered the injury in the season opener against Phoenix and experienced swelling in the knee upon his return against Philadelphia on January 4. Doctors recommended treatment and rest, but have now decided surgery is the best option."After consulting with our medical staff, we concluded that surgery was the best route and in the best interest of Eric for the long term. We had hoped with rest and rehab, Eric's knee would have healed," Hornets general manager Dell Demps said. "Eric is eager to return to the court and we are confident Hornet fans will get to see him soon."Gordon, acquired in mid-December by the Hornets as part of the Chris Paul trade, averaged 22.3 points for the Clippers in 2010-11. He put up 20 and 22 points in his only two games this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted February 14, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Well, at least the Hornets will get one good pick out of the trade (their own)...possibly lose Gordon over the summer, lose Kaman, and have Minnesota's pick which could land them...I don't know...John Henson?
