Los Angeles Clippers SG Eric Gordon is almost ready to make his return to the court from a wrist injury that has bothered him for quite some time now. Coach Vinny Del Negro believes Gordon could possibly return to the lineup Saturday, the Los Angeles Times reports. This is good news for those of you that have kept him on your bench this whole time. It will be important to see how he plays for a few games before you insert him back into your lineup.

Wednesday’s game brought the Clippers a few surprises. Both Baron Davis and Marcus Camby returned from injuries to play a little over 20 minutes each. Neither player played very well in their return with Davis going 1-10 with 3 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block while Camby delivered 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist. Give them time and they will return to form.
News about Zach Randolph’s quest to return to the court took an upswing. Randolph says that he will travel with the Clippers on their current road trip and hopes to play on Monday. I wouldn’t put him in your lineup just yet seeing as how the Clippers will most likely want to ease Randolph back into the starting lineup. It looks as though all of you Randolph owners finally have something to look forward to.
Eric Gordon should still be useful as the SG but I think this will really bring down Al Thornton’s numbers.

While Baron Davis rests his bruised tailbone, Eric Gordon has decided to take matters into his own hands. Over the past week, Gordon has averaged 24.8 points, 4 assists, 0.5 steals, and 1.3 three pointers per game. The Clippers have been without Davis, Zach Randolph and Chris Kaman for awhile now and Gordon has stepped up big time.
However, this offensive explosion has not translated into wins for the Clippers. This usually is a bad thing but in this case I believe it will help Gordon in the long run. The Clippers have no chance at making the playoffs in the West. It would take an absolute miracle for them to make a comeback of that magnitude. This should give the Clippers an opportunity to play some of their young guys like Gordon and see exactly what they can do.
I don’t see Ricky Davis taking too many minutes away from Gordon anytime soon so feel free to start Gordon in all formats and be ready to reap the benefits.
