Ben Gordon came off the bench for 16 points, four rebounds and two 3-pointers on 7-of-17 shooting in Tuesday's loss.
He scored just four points in his previous game, but has hit double digits in four of his last five, making him worth a look by fantasy owners in need of 3-pointers.

Ben Gordon scored 22 points off the bench on Wednesday, hitting 8-of-15 shots from the field (including four treys) with three rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 28 minutes.
Gordon has been productive since returning to action from what sounded like a brutal shoulder injury, and he's certainly worth a pickup after this line. Owners need to keep in mind that his shoulder may be susceptible to re-injury, and turnovers and inconsistency have been problems this season.

Ben Gordon scored 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting (no threes) with one rebound, one steal, and three turnovers in 22 minutes off the bench on Friday.
Gordon has been productive since his return, but not overly productive and the minutes aren't there. Coming off the bench, too, there's enough reason to simply watch before you get to the wondering how the "multiple tears" in his shoulder just went away.

Ben Gordon (shoulder) plans to play in Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Gordon has been sidelined since January 20 with the injury, but after going through a handful of practices, the veteran is ready to play. Prior to going down, Gordon was averaging 14.3 points and 1.3 treys in 33 minutes per game on 42.2 percent shooting.

Ben Gordon (shoulder) still hasn't gone through contact on his shoulder and is unsure how it will respond.
Gordon was prescribed rest, and although he participated in practice on Monday, Gordon may not be as close as the team is letting on. His long-term availability will be determined by how his shoulder responds once it gets hit, and we won't know that until it happens.

Ben Gordon (shoulder) participated in practice Monday.
Gordon hasn't played since Jan. 20, a span of 10 games. It's unlikely he'll be immediately re-inserted into the starting lineup ahead of either Brandon Knight or Rodney Stuckey. Consider Gordon questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Ben Gordon (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game.
Gordon may be getting closer to a return as he was getting some shots up in shootaround, but he's not quite ready just yet. Rodney Stuckey will continue to start in Gordon's place, while Charlie Villanueva (ankle) also remains out for the Pistons.

Ben Gordon (shoulder), Will Bynum (foot), and Charlie Villanueva (ankle) are not with the Pistons for their current road trip, and coach Lawrence Frank doesn't anticipate them joining the team for games on Tuesday and Wednesday, either.
No surprises here. Brandon Knight and Brandon Stuckey are locked and loaded into lineups and we're not so sure that Gordon isn't going to be out longer than this road trip, too.

Ben Gordon is out again on Saturday due to a shoulder injury and remains out indefinitely.
Charlie Villanueva and Will Bynum are also out again, as guys like Rodney Stuckey and Austin Daye will continue to get extra run for the short handed Pistons.

Ben Gordon's (shoulder) MRI revealed "multiple issues" and "a couple tears" in his shoulder.
Yikes. Gordon said that he originally banged up his shoulder in training camp and had been attempting to play through it. He also added it was hard to raise his arms before getting an MRI, and it's a little concerning the Pistons would've let him play through such an injury for so long before sending him for an MRI. Although he can now raise his arms without pain, doctors have put no timetable on his return and we're calling him out indefinitely. Rodney Stuckey will continue to start at shooting guard for the foreseeable future.
