Eric Gordon Suffering from Knee Tendinitis

Until Friday night, New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Eric Gordon had shown signs of durability, missing just four games and not having any knee injury setbacks like he endured the previous two seasons.

But Gordon injured his left knee during the first quarter in Friday night’s 111-105 victory against the Atlanta Hawks and did not return. After the game, Monty Williams said Gordon suffered from a flare up of tendinitis in his left knee and he may return on Saturday night when the Pelicans play the two-time defending champion Miami Heat at the Smoothie King Center.
