If there’s one player that will benefit the most from the unfortunate NBA hiatus, it will be Eric Gordon. Due to nagging knee issues throughout the season, Gordon has only been able to play in 34 of 64 total games for the Houston Rockets.
After showing up in nine of the team’s first 10 games, it was clear something was wrong with E.G. He shot just 28.7 percent from beyond the arc in that stretch while averaging 10.9 points per game, both well below his career averages of 37 percent and 16.6.
After a November victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, the Rockets made the wise decision to have a surgical procedure done on Gordon to remove debris from his knee.
