Gone from talking to your bitch arse and not from the board. Ain't no hoe.

This is where I'm at as well. The guy missed the entire preseason. You can't just throw him in there for 30 minutes - that would further the risk of injury.

We need to make sure he's 100%. It totally sucks that he's not out there game 1, but it's a marathon not a sprint.

Very good point. It's about all we can hope for at the moment since we have no concrete information.

I disagree



I think you are taking it up the arse from EG


Seriously, admit your affair and that you are the reason he's out indefinitely

I don't know man, its crazy. Who knows what may be the sole reason as to why but there are so many other scenarios. He needs to say something. We all need some clarity and real talk.

So we're doing this now man? carry on player. I'll be here laughing at your pain until I go to work.

Well, tank it is

He's not even being pro-Gordon. That's the thing with you guys, you act like everyone trying to stay positive are just infatuated with Eric Gordon and are hanging on his balls. Then you go off making yourself seem like a persecuted minority so you can make yourself feel better. Get over it, we're all upset.

New Orleans Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon will be out indefinitely, Coach Monty Williams said Wednesday morning, though neither Williams nor Gordon could shed any light on the severity of the right knee problem that kept the team's max money player sidelined through the entirety of training camp.

Gordon was instructed by a member of the Hornets' media relations staff not to speak with reporters and was escorted to the locker room after shootaround by the team's security chief.

"He's going to be out," Williams said. "The way I understand it, he's going to be out indefinitely until we get some more clarity on what's going on so I don't have to answer these questions every day and give you guys the update. We'll just go from there."

Rookie Austin Rivers will start Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs at the two-guard spot.

Hornets general manager Dell Demps said Wednesday morning, as Gordon walked out of the Arena accompanied by a member of the communications staff, that Gordon would not speak.

"He's processing some information right now and he doesn't have any comment," Demps said, without discussing just what that information was. "We don't have any comment right now. We're processing information and we will, at the appropriate time, give a statement."

Demps said there is no timetable for releasing additional information.

"I don't anticipate it to be a long time, like an extended period of time," Demps said.

Demps would not say if Gordon has undergone any additional diagnostic procedures on the knee in recent days.

"He's been going through his rehab, and he's doing a good job of it," Demps said. "We're still processing all the information. At the appropriate time we'll release a statement."

It's unclear when Gordon will comment.

Gordon began full-scale contact workouts with the Hornets on Sunday, after mostly walk-through participation up to that point.

On Tuesday, he said "there are no guarantees" he'd play against the Spurs and he was still experiencing pain in the right knee, which was cleaned out arthroscopically on Feb. 14. Gordon played in only nine games in last year's lockout-shortened season.

To Gordon's expressed chagrin, the Hornets matched a four-year, $58 million max-money offer Gordon, then a restricted free agent, received this summer from the Phoenix Suns and have expressed a desire to make him the foundation of the team's rebuilding effort.

Williams was uncertain what Gordon's current symptoms were, whether there was swelling in addition to the pain Gordon said he was having Tuesday.

"He probably does feel pain; that would be the only reason why a guy can't play," Williams said. "For me to try to read an MRI . . . .I'll find out more as we go forward. I try to not get into all that because that would just make me upset."

Williams said on Monday he would check with team physician Scott Montgomery to ascertain if playing Gordon would cause additional damage.

"I've checked with Doc," Williams said, "but for him to explain to me what's going on with his body and then have Eric feel a certain way doesn't matter. You know what I'm saying? If Doc says one thing and the guy is feeling another, then you have to . . . what am I supposed to say?

"I'm sure it's got to be medical. A guy just can't not play. It's got to be medical. At this point of the year, everybody is excited to play. I'm sure it's medical."

Williams said his loss hurts.

"It's more than a blow," Williams said. "It is what it is. At the same time, you guys have been with me here through my coaching tenure and it's always been like this. I'm well-prepared for these kinds of experiences. It's one of those situations that, talking about it and complaining about it isn't going to help it. It's an unfortunate situation. I'll give you guys information as I get it."

Williams said he was unsure what the next course of action was regarding further rehabilitation of the injury.

"I'm not going to do this every game," Williams said. "Like I told you: he's not playing. He's out indefinitely. I'm not going to go down the script of like, 'OK, this is what we're going to do.' It doesn't matter. For me, he's not playing. And it's just one of those situations that that's all we have. And we have to move forward from there."

When Gordon agreed to the Suns' offer sheet in July, he said his "heart was in Phoenix."

Later, at the U.S. Olympic Basketball team trials in Las Vegas, Gordon said he would be disappointed if the Hornets matched the offer.
