Eric Gordon says his ankle is fine, will play Wednesday

It was a scary moment late in the fourth quarter when Eric Gordon and Patrick Beverley got tangled up going for a rebound. The end result was Gordon rolling his ankle (per Mike D'Antoni) and gingerly walking off the court heading into the locker room.

Don't fret. After the game, Gordon said he's OK and doesn't plan on missing Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Eric Gordon says he will practice tomorrow and play on Wednesday, not concerned at all #Rockets

Gordon does have a long injury history — he’s never played more than 64 games in a season and this is his 10th year in the league — but he showed no worry or concern over what happened to him late Monday night against the Boston Celtics.
