What It Means:

Gordon, who's been out since January 27th, has already been ruled out for Thursday night. He's even gone ahead and ruled himself out for the dunk contest over All-Star break. With that, it's unlikely that he returns before the break. So long as Mario Hezonja isn't traded, he should continue to see the most minutes at power forward, with Marreese Speights getting additional minutes off the bench.

numberFire's models project Gordon for averages of 16.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 28 games and 30.9 minutes per game the rest of the season.
