Pelicans' Eric Gordon expected to miss final five games

It appears shooting guard Eric Gordon may not return to the court this season, due to left knee tendinitis.

“I doubt that he’ll play anymore this year, but that’s just (my opinion),” Pelicans Coach Monty Williams said of the sixth-year NBA veteran. “He’s getting evaluations on his knee.”

Gordon was nearly injury-free over the first five months of the season, playing in 64 of New Orleans’ first 68 games. After experiencing tendinitis following a road win in Atlanta on March 21, Gordon has been sidelined for the past nine contests.
