The Houston guard has dealt with discomfort in his knee since the 2018–19 campaign, and has been listed as questionable for multiple games this season with left hamstring soreness.

Gordon just signed a four-year, $75.6 million max extension (with the final year non-guaranteed) this past off-season to remain with the Rockets.

He is averaging career-lows in points (10.9) and shooting from the field (30.9 per cent) through nine games this season.
