Ben Gordon (ankle) will not play on Tuesday. This was a last-minute surprise, as Gordon was originally expected to start at SG in place of Gerald Henderson. We'll update his status once we know more about the injury.

Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap said that Ben Gordon is "definitely under consideration" to start at SG this season. Such a move would bump Gerald Henderson to the bench or to SF, but if he moves to SF prized rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist would come off the bench. We're not putting a ton of stock in this report for the time being, but it's just one more reason to be skeptical of Henderson and MKG in fantasy leagues.

Ben Gordon had another good game on Tuesday with 21 points on 7-of-15 shooting, four assists, two steals and three treys in 25 minutes. Gerald Henderson added 12 points, three assists and a steal in 30 minutes as the starter at shooting guard. Gordon has has been the team's leader in shot attempts so far in this young season. These two will likely cancel each other out and neither are more than a late-round flier.

Ben Gordon got the start on Thursday and scored 14 points on 5-of-14 shooting in 29 minutes. This is the second game in a row where B.G. had a team high in shot attempts. The Bobcats were dead last in points last year, so they certainly could use Gordon as one of their primary scorers. He's a late-round flier for now.

Ben Gordon missed practice for the Bobcats on Saturday with a sore right knee. He is expected to play in Sunday's exhibition against the Wizards. Gordon is going to share time at shooting guard with Gerald Henderson for the Bobcats.

Bobcats trade F Corey Maggette to Pistons for G Ben Gordon and a lottery-protected first-round pick. The deal is now official. "With this trade, we have acquired two things we covet in our plan to build this team," said President of Basketball Operations Rod Higgins. Some fans have knocked the Bobcats for this deal, but the team needs talent desperately and Maggette simply wasn't part of the solution.

The Pistons have traded G Ben Gordon and a lottery-protected 2013 first-round pick to Charlotte for F Corey Maggette, according to Yahoo! Sports. The Pistons have been rumored to be taking a big man with the ninth pick, but this trade could put that plan in jeopardy now that Gordon is out of the picture in Detroit. He'll challenge Gerald Henderson for the starting job (and minutes) in Charlotte, while Maggette will try to stay healthy enough to compete for starter's minutes in Detroit. The move will save Detroit about $15 million on the two remaining years on Gordon's contract, while Maggette's got an expiring deal.

Bulls beat writer Sam Smith is "hearing" that the Pistons believe they'll have a trade market for Ben Gordon. Gordon played in Chicago before moving on to Detroit, so we'll put limited stock in this report. Gordon has been incredibly disappointing since signing a five-year, $55 million deal in free agency to join the Pistons, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Detroit use its amnesty clause if unable to find a taker for the veteran shooting guard. Gordon averaged 12.5 points and 1.2 treys on 44.2 percent shooting from the floor.

Ben Gordon his a franchise-record seven 3-pointers in the second quarter of Thursday's win over the Sixers, and finished with 26 points on 9-of-13 shooting (including eight threes total). Gordon added two rebounds, five assists, and a block and might have been a huge pickup for those thinking Rodney Stuckey (13 points, four assists, 27 minutes) would have been out of commission. Charlie Villanueva scored 11 points with seven boards, one steal, one block, and three treys of his own.

Ben Gordon played just 16 minutes in Thursday's blowout win, scoring nine points on 1-of-3 shooting with two assists and a three. Blowout or not, Gordon needs to up his minutes into the 25-plus range before he should even hit owners' radars in 12-team formats.
