Gordon tallied 20 points (8-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists, a steal and a blocked shot over 18 minutes in Thursday's preseason 122-111 win over Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, among others, logged more minutes than Gordon in the contest, but the veteran shooting guard nonetheless paced Phoenix in the scoring column. He did so on an uber-efficient 8-for-10 shooting line, with both his misses coming from beyond the arc. Gordon is averaging 12.3 points per game on 59.1 percent shooting from the field through three exhibition games as he competes for a role as the primary backup to Booker.

Gordon is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon is set to make his first start of the preseason, and the veteran sharpshooter will get the nod with Bradley Beal (back) sidelined. Gordon should be good for around 15 to 20 minutes.

Gordon and the Suns agreed to a deal Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given Phoenix's current cap situation, the deal will likely be for the veteran minimum, but Gordon should play a vital reserve role for the star-laden Suns next season. The 2008 first-round pick has struggled to stay healthy in recent years, but when he's on the court, he can score in a multitude of ways. Gordon has never averaged fewer than 12.0 points per game in his 15-year career.

The Clippers waived Gordon on Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being acquired by the Clippers at the trade deadline, Gordon appeared in 22 games and logged 11.0 points and 2.1 assists on 46/42/84 shooting while knocking down 2.1 three-pointers per game. Considering his hefty contract and the Clippers' tight cap situation, Gordon's release is hardly a surprise. The 33-year-old should be an attractive option for teams in need of a veteran presence who can stretch the floor and play quality defense.

Gordon logged three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and three assists over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 136-130 loss to Phoenix in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon mattered very little in the loss, rounding out a disappointing end to the season for the Clippers. Despite having carved out a relatively consistent role for himself, Gordon still offered only a limited amount of value as a perimeter scoring option. His future, no matter where he lands next season, is not one full of upside, but one where he will serve as a microwave scorer, called upon as required.

Gordon (hip) has been removed from the injury report for Saturday's game against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

This was the expectation after Gordon practiced on Friday. The Clippers will be without Paul George (knee) and Marcus Morris (back), so they will be close to full strength.

Gordon (hip) didn't practice Friday, but head coach Tyronn Lue said the veteran shooting guard would be available for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon continues to battle a hip injury, but he's expected to suit up for a second straight contest following a one-game absence. He's started each of his last six appearances, averaging 13.5 points, 2.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 23.5 minutes during that stretch.

Gordon (hip) is available and starting in Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon missed the Clippers' last contest with soreness in his right hip, which allowed Norman Powell to draw a spot start. However, now that Gordon is healthy, he will reclaim his starting role and knock Powell back to the second unit.

Gordon (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon missed Saturday's game against the Pelicans with soreness in his right hip and is at risk of missing a second straight game after logging a limited practice Tuesday and nabbing a questionable tag. If he isn't able to go, Norman Powell would likely draw another start.

Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said Gordon (hip) will go through some stuff during Tuesday's practice, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon missed Saturday's loss to the Pelicans due to right hip soreness, but it appears the rest was beneficial. However, his status for Wednesday's game against the Lakers likely won't be known until the Clippers release their next injury report, which should drop sometime Tuesday afternoon.
