Eric Gordon is officially out for the remainder of the season. The New Orleans Pelicans announced that Gordon underwent surgery today and will not return this season.
In five seasons Gordon has appeared in 221 of 394 possible games, just 56%. Initially acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers sending Chris Paul to Lob City, Gordon was the centerpiece. A 22 year old guard who averaged 22.3 points and 4.4 assists the year prior, Gordon was supposed to be the next great shooting guard.
