Timeline of NBA in 2000s as league celebrates 75th season

Timeline of the National Basketball Association during the 2000s to the NBA’s 75th season
MARCH 22, 2022 • Associated Press
Kevin Porter Jr. - Struggles in win Porter totaled 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 36 minutes during Monday's 115-97 victory over the Wizards.
Impact While Christian Wood put on a three-point clinic, Porter struggled to find a basket from downtown and suffered through a tepid shooting night. Porter has been plagued with the occasional single-digit scoring total in March, and despite excellent performances against Phoenix and Miami over the month, he's been unable to score consistently.
MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Posts 15 points in return Gordon closed with 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Monday's 115-97 win over the Wizards.
Impact Gordon returned to action with a solid night of shooting, and he was able to log 25 minutes on the court after dealing with a non-COVID illness. Gordon's return sent Garrison Mathews back to the bench, and the starting job should remain in Gordon's hands as the season comes to a close.
MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Solid line in victory Green closed with 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 115-97 win over the Wizards.
Impact After a slight regression against Memphis, Green got back to his recent high-scoring ways. Although the eight-point performance against the Grizzlies left much to be desired, he still managed averages of 16.8 points, 3.8 assists and 3.6 rebounds over the past five games.
MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Career-high 39 points in win Wood amassed 39 points (14-18 FG, 8-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 115-97 victory over Washington.
Impact Everything clicked for Wood in Monday's victory, with the center achieving a career-high scoring haul on supremely efficient shooting from all areas of the court. Wood was instrumental in erasing the Wizards' 23- point lead at the half, and his performance was a great morale boost for the struggling Rockets. He also became the second player in team history to score 30 points, grab 10 rebounds and hit eight three-pointers in a game, joining James Harden.

Garrison Mathews - Moves back to bench Mathews will come off the bench Monday against the Wizards, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Mathews started the past four games but averaged only 5.3 points and 1.0 rebounds in 21.0 minutes during that stretch. Eric Gordon (illness) will rejoin the lineup Monday after sitting out the past four contests.
MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Good to go vs. Wiz Gordon (illness) will be available for Monday's game against the Wizards, Cayleigh Griffin of ATT SportsNet Southwest reports.
Impact An illness kept Gordon out of four straight games, but he's finally been cleared to take the floor for the first time since March 11. The oft-injured veteran has missed 10 of Houston's last 19 games, but he's already logged his most appearances (54) since the 2018-19 campaign.
MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Questionable for Monday's contest Gordon (illness) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Wizards.
Impact Gordon has already missed four consecutive games due to an illness and is in jeopardy of missing a fifth. The questionable tag doesn't offer much optimism as the veteran has drawn the same designation in each of the previous three contests. If he's sidelined again, Garrison Mathews figures to draw another start.

Eric Gordon - Still out Sunday Gordon (illness) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Impact Gordon will be sidelined for the fourth straight game as he continues to manage a non-COVID illness. He should be considered questionable for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday against the Wizards. Garrison Mathews is likely to receive another start in his absence.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Remains questionable for Sunday Gordon (illness) is questionable to play against the Grizzlies on Sunday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Gordon has missed three straight games due to a non-COVID illness, and his status remains in question for Sunday's contest. That game is the first of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets may opt to hold the veteran out until Monday even if he is feeling better. Garrison Mathews has started each of Houston's past three games in Gordon's stead.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alperen Sengun - Scores 15 points off bench Sengun produced 15 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and three blocks over 21 minutes during Friday's 121-118 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Sengun missed all of his three-point attempts but still scored in double figures for the first time over the past four games. Across 10 games in March, the rookie has averaged 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 23.6 minutes per game, though that production is skewed by a 21-point, 14-rebound performance during a March 9 start when Christian Wood was sidelined with an illness.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Porter Jr. - Solid production in loss Porter closed with 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 121-118 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Porter scored in double figures for the seventh time over the last nine games. During that stretch, the third-year guard has averaged 16.6 points, 5.8 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 32.8 minutes per game. He'll look to maintain his solid play Sunday against the Grizzlies.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Green - Back-to-back 20-point games Green accumulated 20 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block across 37 minutes during Friday's 121-118 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Green scored 20-plus points for a second consecutive game and for the 18th time this season. It was also just the second time that the rookie finished with at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists during the campaign. Across 10 games in March, Green has averaged 21.1 points, 4.1 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Wood - Monster performance not enough Wood produced 32 points (11-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 121-118 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Wood finished with team highs in points and rebounds en route to his 30th double-double of the campaign. His 32 points were one short of his season high and it was the 20th time he grabbed at least 13 rebounds. Wood also displayed his defensive instincts by registering multiple blocks and multiple steals in the same game for just the second time this season. After a three-game absence due to an illness, the undrafted (2015) big man put together back-to-back modest performances, but he appears to have gotten back on track Friday. Wood will look to build off his stellar performance Sunday against the Grizzlies.
