Rockets guard Eric Gordon went through the Rockets' practice on Saturday in Philadelphia, but it was more of a light walk through with shooting drills than a test of the tightness in his back.
Gordon was hopeful that he could return to the lineup after missing two games after his back "locked up" after pregame warmups in Boston on Wednesday. Gordon said he was not concerned about playing in the Rockets one visit to Indianapolis because the game is in his hometown, but said he was eager to see if the improvement since Wednesday would continue.
"I'll test it in shootaround and see how it feels," Gordon said.
