AboveLegit Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon is one of the league's most improved, underrated and overlooked players, and he's also one of the league's most prolific and consistent scorers. Unfortunately for those in Southern California, he's also now officially sidelined due to injury and likely won't return until after the All-Star break. The Clippers reported Tuesday that Gordon is expected to miss "three to four weeks" with a "sprained right wrist combined with a small bone chip fracture." Ouch. Los Angeles Clippers' guard Eric Gordon did not travel with the team to Dallas for tonight's game against the Maverick's so he could remain in Los Angeles for further examination on his right wrist, injured in a fall this past Saturday in a game versus the Golden State Warriors.Gordon was examined today by Dr. Steve Chin at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic. He was examined previously by Clippers' team physician/orthopedist Dr. Steven Shimoyama and Dr. Roy A. Meals, a orthopedist specializing in hand-related injuries. Their joint diagnosis is that Gordon is suffering from a sprained right wrist combined with a small bone chip fracture. He is expected to return to action in three to four weeks.http://nba-facts-and-rumors.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22748484/27250997?ttag=gen10_on_all_fb_na_txt_0001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Damn, I enjoy watching EJ play. They'll have to find someone else to produce well in the 2nd half. Hopefully Blake Griffin can rise to the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobe24 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Eh there goes their playoff hopes. Theres always next year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I still this they will make the playoffs. We are about to see Davis and Griffins numbers explode. imo this is what Davis needed to get back into the flow of things and to show everyone that can still play at a high level.

*Swish* Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Definitely hard news to swallow for the Clippers fans. Hopefully, he will become earlier than that. Oh man they will suffer from this injury especially since they're not that far of making the playoffs (they need a bit of luck) Edited January 26, 2011 by *Swish* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sħãlïq™ Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Eh there goes their playoff hopes. Theres always next year..They can still make it. Baron will have to step it up, so will everyone. It's not that huge of a blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I am not looking forward to seeing Bledsoe and Davis play together for more minutes if I were a Clippers fan, but that seems probable at the moment when EG is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
