Before the Houston Rockets can tip-off their new season, Stephen Silas made his first major decision as head coach. His projected starting five will consist of John Wall, James Harden, Danuel House, P.J. Tucker and Christian Wood. Filling in as a reserve on the sideline will be Gordon.
Under Silas, the 13-year veteran will reclaim his role as Houston’s sixth man this season. Silas said the strategy is to utilize Gordon as a secondary ball-handler outside of Harden and Wall. The two parties announced the mutual decision following practice on Monday.
