re: Educated post about Gordon's injury...

I think that's the key nugget here.

We saw that last year when he came back during that 9-game stretch, he was just as explosive and agile as ever, despite the fact that this nagging knee issue hadn't been fully resolved.

I think that points towards the probability of no long-term effects on his game, and that once the pain has fully subsided, he can return at full-strength without any hindrance.
