Eric Gordon: (Groin) Could Return Next Week

Update: Gordon (groin) could return to the Clippers’ lineup as early as next week if all goes well, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Recommendation: With Kareem Rush(notes) suffering a season-ending knee injury Tuesday in New Orleans, the Clippers desperately need Gordon to get healthy. Assuming he does not suffer a setback, Gordon should be ready to return to action next week, but this is far from a concrete timetable, so don’t slide him back into your starting lineup just yet.
