You are a slow healer, 12 years and it still bothers you? Granted I’ve sprained my ankle so many times it still hurts some mornings if its cold. I could only imagine how achy it would be if I lived somewhere besides sunny Southern California.

Unfortunate about Gordon. Good job of getting the story. Some of us were, shall we say, optimistic, between Milph’s quick reference and KA’s tweet from the game. Don’t know why.

If you look at the game tape carefully, which we’ve done because of the stirring conclusion, you can see Gordon tightening up slightly as he comes up the court after one crazy intense drive after another. He wasn’t holding back on the groin, it doesn’t seem. But some of his drives were so powerful and so athletic that anything could have happened. Slight hamstring tweak but no recurrence of the groin injury is a little weird, but we’ll take it and see how things go.

Good to have the extra day off. It would be nice to have Gordon against Houston but let’s not count on it.

Anything else of note at practice? Any exam results or notes or timetable for Blake Griffin? And how did Lucas hurt his foot?

Hopefully, Gordon will not be out for very long. If he is, Dunleavy needs only to look in the mirror to know who to blame. First game back in Indy Dunleavy said he would limit EJ’s minutes to no more than 25. He played 27, ok. 2nd game back, he played 28 minutes. Again, ok. Third game back, he played 42 minutes, too many minutes too soon for someone coming off a leg injury. You build the minutes slowly IF you know what you’re doing. And, the training staff has to let the coaching staff know what’s going on. I pin this one on Dunleavy, and he better hope that EJ doesn’t have a lingering problem. If I was EJ, I would be p*****. EJ’s game is based on his ability to explode and to get his legs into 3 point shooting. I will predict that EJ’s 3 point shooting will suffer until his legs are 100%.
