The Houston Rockets are built around their superstar backcourt, but an injury to the unheralded Eric Gordon may cripple them for the rest of the season.
While the Rockets haven’t lost any key contributors to opt-outs, food delivery, or really good wings they did catch a bad break this week. Eric Gordon landed awkwardly on a Celtics foot and suffered a sprained ankle. As of right now he’s looking at it least two weeks out, and ankle injuries can be difficult to really project returns from.
