Gordon to miss 6 weeks

How is his recovery doing? On track to be back in a few weeks?

 

If Gordon back, can Houston beat bucks, Laker, clippers, Dallas and Denver? If some of the shooting are missing then I hope he can take more rest and give more times to other bench players to play. I hope MDA will not just use 7 to 8 players for playoff

 

He’s gonna be back around Christmas

 

i strongly doubt he returns before mid Jan

 

We really need Gordon off the bench. Starters are actually great.

So tired of his lazy starts to the season. Wish he would be a bit more committed and work hard.

 

He got hurt begining of November and they said return time was 6 weeks so that’s Mid-December. Christmas makes it 7 maybe 8 weeks. Mid-Jan is like 10-11 weeks. No way ur estimation is right

 

surgery was mid-november, around the 13th-14th. when they say 6 weeks they mean 8-9

 

So really around the new year.

I have a realistic expectation of him rounding into form mid to late January. Hope it’s sooner but he’ll probably have to knock some rust off.

 

no, around new year would mean only 6.9 weeks

 

So like did he have this problem over the summer and decided to fix it during the season?

 

I bet it was an optional surgery and opting-out of it became unbearable.

 

Yeah, scopes don't take that long to heal - usually around 2-4 weeks, but to be super cautious......let him take his time......I would bet by the new year he is at least working out.

This is a blessing in disguise. It’s an 82 game season, let him get right and give the young guys some playing time to show what they have. With the Warriors demise it gives us the flexibility to have some early season tinkering because I don’t see anyone running away from the pack in the Western Conference this year. I guarantee you that the Lakers lose at least 5 games in December and thus making this a wide open West.

As long as either Mike, Dan, or Tony are willing to incorporate the young guys into the rotation we will be fine in the long run.

 

I am hoping he takes his time

He wasn't having fun and decided to do it?

 

Recovery going well? This kind of flies in the face of all the "Rockets training staff is trash" whiners.

Meanwhile Zion is getting fatter and his timeline has increased.

Beware, this unfettered bent of yours might make @J.R. bump 20 GARM threads in 10 minutes ... this time, threads of Injuries that were reported tame at first, but only got worse.

Actually like the Gordon Nov 2018 Knee Injury thread. You do know there is a Gordon Injury thread from last November of him bumping knees, with Feb updates of missing game with continued Soreness...so, this thread is a continuation of that injury the training staff obviously didn’t handle well. ​
