Well, that was short-lived.
Any hopes that Ben Gordon would be the sharp-shooter off the bench for the Golden State Warriors were dashed on Wednesday night when Gordon was released by the team.
Gordon, who was signed to a training camp invite by the Warriors, appeared in two preseason games and had just two points and two assists in limited playing time — 16 minutes over the two games.
Perhaps Gordon didn’t impress enough during practice to warrant an opportunity during games. The 32-year-old veteran was seeking a renaissance season, even going on a vegan diet.
