Timetable updated to 2-3 weeks Gordon's (ankle) timetable for a return has been revised from one to two weeks, to two to three weeks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gordon's ankle is reportedly swollen and tender, but that's to be expected. Initially, it seemed like Gordon might be able to make a return during the seeding games, but now that appears less likely. It's possible he suits up for the final contest if he lands on the early end of his timetable. In his stead, Danuel House will start, while Ben McLemore, Jeff Green and Austin Rivers are all candidates to see extra run.

Likely out 'a few days' Gordon (ankle) had his X-ray return negative and coach Mike D'Antoni expects the guard to be out "a few days," Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact It appears Gordon has avoided anything too serious, and it's possible we see him take the court again early in the seeding games. More information could arrive in the coming days regarding a specific timeline. He hasn't yet been formally ruled out for Friday's opener against the Mavericks. If he ends up sidelined for that game and any future contests, Austin Rivers and Ben McLemore should see extra usage.

Goes for 26 in scrimmage win McLemore had 26 points (8-10 FG, 6-7 3PT, 4-4 FT) in Sunday's scrimmage against Memphis.

Impact On a night when Eric Gordon, Russell Westbrook, P.J. Tucker, and Danuel House combined to shoot 4-of-24 from beyond the arc, McLemore stepped up to hit six of his seven three-point attempts off the bench. McLemore also added three rebounds in 24 minutes of action.

Scores 11 points in start Gordon provided 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) across 25 minutes in Friday's 94-83 scrimmage loss to the Raptors in Orlando.

Impact There's no question that Gordon has been a valuable contributor when Harden and/or Westbrook have sat for rest or injury, but the role he saw Friday at the wing is probably unsustainable. Danuel House and Ben McLemore provide much-needed height and more imposing inside presences, something Gordon can't offer. Furthermore, Robert Covington is one of the best defensive players in the game today, and to place Gordon ahead of this trio is unlikely moving forward.
