Any Puddin Update?/Where is Eric Gordon? {merged}

[omalakas]

Wasn't he supposed to be back this month after rehabing his quads in CA. I guess he's taking the holidays off so he won't miss Santa Benson's Christmas bonus check. Then he needs to wait until the All Star game is over. Then he starts practicing and experiences a tweak in his groin requiring another month of therapy. Don't look for him to be back before
the trade deadline is over (he may have to work if traded) and definitely not before Orthodox Easter (May 5).

Today is the 6 weeks mark. My guess is maybe he won't come back until the next home game or he may rejoin the team on the upcoming road trip once we land in LA for the CLippers. Would be nice to see him out there against the clippers.

I'm sick of him not being with the team. Whatever the reason, if he's supposed to be a member, he should be with the other guys now. What kind of rapport could he have with them if he's never around? He's some peripheral entity that everyone expects to meet one day like Santa Clause.

I have no idea who u guys are referring too...............................:............... ..........///..........//..................

I'm a little confused if you are asking a question or just complaining...irregardless...I believe the answer would be this tweet from Dec 12:

Jennifer Hale @JenHale504
@Hornets Eric Gordon: quad strength up to 75%. Now participating in 2 a day workouts: 8:30-4:30. Still On track to rejoin team bf year's end

[Inner_GI]

If Dell was telling the truth about why they sent him to LA, then it further emphasizes how poorly this team was ran under the former owners. We have such a crappy facility that we can't even rehab a player correctly. lol

I think Gordon will be back after the road trip, and that is just a wild guess from me.

I love the Puddin nickname. Much friendlier than China Doll.

Mr glass is still my all time fav. to be honest its been so long without gordon its like whats the point even. i like our young guys earning their stripes, really painful to watch though

[Atarwii]

I see trade stories all over the net

[WisconsinHornet]

Somebody hit him up on Twitter and see how he likes his new moniker

[Impose]

Any news? Thought he was supposed to be back around same time as AD?

[SharlieCheen]

hard to know when there is no actual timetable for his return, suppose to be rehabilitating his sore right knee still, i remember seeing on twitter that he promised someone to show up to a match but idk haha

some say he would get back before 2012 ended but we will have to see

[AD23forMVP]

People need to realize when someone says something like "4-6 weeks" it isn't a timetable, it's more of a estimation.

[groundpatty]

Jennifer Hale recently said he's still on pace to return to the team before the year's over. So... January is a safe bet.

I don't get how this is so hard to understand.

[LouisianaPride]

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

[Pantazis76]

Isnt today the day he can be traded..

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

yep

[Pantazis76]

Eric gordon for Loul Deng ?

[Soundwave]

Isnt today the day he can be traded..

I think I recall Marc Stein tweeting today that it was Jan 15th. This would be news to all of us and I am surprised it hasn't been mentioned.

[WisconsinHornet]

He's almost certainly headed for microfracture surgery IMO. Nothing to base that on other than the descriptions of what I've read and the fact that he's never tweeting, doing interviews, etc. If he was close he'd be way more vocal about his return, how excited he is, etc.

Hope I'm wrong but I'd bet quite a bit that I'm not.
