GORDON HURT, WILL MISS REMAINDER OF NBA SUMMER LEAGUE

The Los Angeles Clippers confirmed today that lottery pick Eric Gordon will miss the remainder of the NBA Summer League on with a strained left hamstring. The injury is not believed to be serious. Drafted No. 7 overall last month out of Indiana, Gordon has missed 19-of-28 shots from the field in two games but has relied on his strength, body control and confidence to get to the free-throw line 21 times (making 16) in just under 60 minutes of court time, enabling him to average 19 points along with 6.5 rebounds. Clippers summer league coach Kim Hughes has been primarily playing Gordon as a shooting guard, a position in which he is likely to be deployed most as a rookie alongside Baron Davis.
