Goes missing in Game 5 loss Gordon logged three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and three assists over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 136-130 loss to Phoenix in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Impact Gordon mattered very little in the loss, rounding out a disappointing end to the season for the Clippers. Despite having carved out a relatively consistent role for himself, Gordon still offered only a limited amount of value as a perimeter scoring option. His future, no matter where he lands next season, is not one full of upside, but one where he will serve as a microwave scorer, called upon as required.

Impact Gordon continues to battle a hip injury, but he's expected to suit up for a second straight contest following a one-game absence. He's started in each of his last six appearances, averaging 13.5 points, 2.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 23.5 minutes during that stretch.

Iffy for Wednesday Gordon (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Gordon missed Saturday's game against the Pelicans with soreness in his right hip and is at risk of missing a second straight game after logging a limited practice Tuesday and nabbing a questionable tag. If he isn't able to go, Norman Powell would likely draw another start.

Tabbed questionable Gordon (hip) is officially questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Gordon exited Friday's contest with soreness in his right hip after 16 minutes and is questionable to play in Saturday's closing leg of the back-to-back set. If he were to miss time, Terance Mann and Norman Powell could see more action.

Won't return with hip soreness Gordon is dealing with right hip soreness and will not return to Friday's game against Memphis, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, putting Gordon's status in jeopardy for Saturday against the Pelicans. If Gordon is forced to miss additional time, the Clippers could turn to Terance Mann and Norman Powell to pick up the slack.

Impact Gordon will take Paul George's (knee) spot in the starting lineup Thursday. Expect Gordon to stay in the starting lineup until George is able to return to the court. As a starter this season, Gordon is averaging 13.2 points, 2.9 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 30.3 minutes of action.

Scores 20 points off bench Gordon notched 20 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 117-102 victory over Portland.

Impact Gordon was lights out off the bench and scored at least 20 points for the second time since joining the Clippers ahead of the trade deadline. In 13 games (three starts) with Los Angeles, the veteran shooting guard has averaged 11.1 points, 2.3 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 25.9 minutes with 47/43/80 shooting splits.

Retreats to bench Gordon isn't starting Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

Struggles in spot start Gordon ended Saturday's 113-108 loss to the Magic with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes.

Impact Gordon replaced Kawhi Leonard (right knee injury management) in the starting lineup but failed to make the most of the opportunity. While he did log a healthy 31 minutes, he was relatively passive on the offensive end. The Clippers play again Sunday, and with Leonard likely to return, Gordon could find himself back on the bench. However, given what we have seen over the past few weeks, that might actually afford Gordon some more freedom when it comes to getting his shots up.

Starting Saturday Gordon will step into the first unit for Saturday's game against the Magic, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Two triples in victory Gordon recorded 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Saturday's 106-95 win over New York.

Impact Gordon played at least 26 minutes for the fifth straight game, piloting in two triples en route to double-digit scoring. He appears to have carved out a consistent role for himself, playing as a spark plug scorer off the bench. He offers nothing else outside of scoring and threes, but if that floats your boat, he can be considered a viable streaming option.

He's been held under 10 points in three of his outings with his new team and has averaged 7.0 points and 3.5 assists in 23.3 minutes per game over that stretch.
