Injury Report
Knee - Out until at least late February (Updated - 2/7/12)
Fantasy Analysis
The Hornets are going to continue exercising extreme caution with Gordon's situation. The team is unlikely to vie for the playoffs this season and certainly doesn't want to leverage the team's future by bringing Gordon back too soon. That is not good news for Fantasy owners as he is doing nobody any good on the shelf. Gordon sounds like he'll be out until at least late February, if not longer, so owners will have to keep him grounded in all leagues and formats. Greivis Vasquez has really come on in Gordon's stead of late. (Updated 02/07/2012).

It could get ugly for the woeful Knicks when they visit South Beach, and Mike D'Antoni might pay the price. Ken Berger says that would be unfair, but waiting in the wings next season could be none other than ... Phil Jackson?
The only thing that seemed to slow down G Eric Gordon during the 2010-11 season was a wrist injury. But with a new team and renewed health, Fantasy owners should expect him to continue to improve in his fourth NBA season. Gordon was shipped to New Orleans in a multiplayer deal for G Chris Paul just before the start of the season. He averaged 22.3 points for the Clippers last year, but missed 26 games. However, his wrist is fully healed and he should once again average more than 20 points per game with solid assist totals as a member of the Hornets. In category-based formats, he can also be a premium source for 3-pointers and is good for roughly a steal per game. He will likely be the focal point of the Hornets' offense and is worthy of a selection beginning in the third round of 2011-12 Fantasy drafts. (Updated 12/16/11)
