Rockets guard Eric Gordon spends several weeks of every offseason in the Bahamas - where his mother is from originally and several of his family members still live.

In the wake of Hurricane Dorian’s destruction, Gordon is raising money to give back to the islands so close to his heart.

“It’s heartbreaking to see what happened there,” Gordon said. “Some people lost everything. They need our help.”
