The Rockets’ lineup will look a little different next season than most expected. While a starting lineup featuring Chris Paul, James Harden, James Ennis, P.J. Tucker and Clint Capela looked likely at first, Mike D’Antoni is reportedly leaning towards replacing Ennis with Gordon as a starter.
Gordon knows that he’s in line for an increased workload next season, so the 6-foot-4 guard has shed 15 pounds over the summer so that he can be more effective in his new role, according to Kelly Iko of The Athletic.
