Gordon will miss Friday's game against the Mavericks due to a left thumb contusion, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon will get the night off Friday to let his thumb heal ahead of the team's road trip that features three- games across four days. In his absence, Kenyon Martin and Tari Eason will likely receive extended action. Gordon's next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Bulls.
