I heard a rumor that he is giving one? Has anyone else heard this going around?

Unless the words out of his mouth are, "My knee isn't 100% yet, but you know, I'm gonna be a man and play through the discomfort anyway."
I mean people have blown our their ACLs and come back in sooner time than this.
I am confused as heck right now. Why would he need a press conference?
I'm kind of hoping its to demand a trade so we can get the wheels in motion to get something for this clown.
I read yesterday that Gordon would address the media today. I have no clue. Really wish I knew someone with the team who could say exactly what is going on.
It's not technically a "press conference", there is just no better word to use.
The Hornets wrap up practice at noon and after practice, Gordon will address the media. He need a day to go back and work on how he wa going to spin this with his people. That's why we got Monty say gibberish yesterday and no word from Eric.
I don't even know what I want to hear from him at this point.
A press conference for spin. Wow.
Joe has said he will have one today. I also read that he refused and Monty had him escorted out, I doubt that though.
If he says what you want to hear - it is a spin.
If he says he wants to be traded - he is worthless.
If he says he is still hurt - he is worthless
If he doesn't say anything - he is worthless.
This about some up how all of you would take whatever happens?
I pretty much agree with this. Unless Gordon comes out and says that he will play Friday and he will give the Hornets their money back for every game he misses over the next 4 years, we will be upset.
But he put himself in this corner with his comments and his actions. I feel no sympathy. I just hope he becomes the player he can be, but I am not counting on it
If this happened, nobody here knows about it.
It's not really a press conference as much as availability. I don't see a podium, and I think he'll just be taking questions.
Last time he took questions about a sticky situation, it didn't go well for him--

And who put himself in position for it to be taken this way? Gordon could have come out after day one of the trade and embraced New Orleans. Instead he hasn't, has been injured (not his fault), goes into the offseason with rumors swirling and says his hearts In phx, then he says he'd be disappointed if we match for the same money, then this? Please stop trying to frame this like the fans are the one painting the negative picture here. Gordon is the Director of this sad set of events. Poor poor Max money Eric Gordon who has a fan base begging him to play and begging to be excited about him to be here. He just can't catch a break can he ?
So what is everyone hoping to hear or get out of this 'availability' today?
The truth.
This is beyond ridiculous. Im tired of seeing this bull****. I was hoping he shaped up after we matched but hes not doing anything.
Just man the **** up. Kobe Bryant plays through fractures and torn ligaments every day. This press conference better have him say hes gonna play next game.
Im EXPECTING him to say something immature about the city booing him, and how he may be out long but he is not sure when he would return.
This guy way of thinking is coming off non-logical and selfish though. Im really expecting something negative from him about the city and his future with the team..
Does anyone know if EJ did anything basketball related at practice today? If he didn't, that would mean the team is shutting him down for a week or two, or he is having knee scoped, and would be out for a month.
I don't know what the truth is. the only "proof" we have that this is about not being here was a post that didnt claim he had inside information and clues. If he's injured, what's going on? Why not come out and say I want to be in New Orleans to the public? That'd be healing enough for me.
@SteveGellerWWL: Eric Gordon update...he says no timetable for his return AND wouldn't rule out missing entire season
@GerrityJoe: Eric gordon said It has been very frustrating as a player not to do your job every day.
@GerrityJoe: Gordon said its very painful. He said he doesnt know "at all" when or if he'll be be back this season.
@GerrityJoe: Gordon contradicted himself. he said there is no damage, but there is damage. Very odd. Video soon.
@GerrityJoe: @GerrityJoe: He "sorta" experienced a setback between vegas and camp. There is nothing structurally wrong. Hes had mri's recently
At the end of the day, nothing but being on the court and playing with the team will silence his critics.
Lol.
I'd wholeheartedly believe he's comitted for the next 4 years because he's taking a step towards repairing a broken relationship. JNust like any damaged relationship, one statement or one action never repairs everything. Make a statement, come out and play ball the way we know he can, and in a couple of years all will be forgiven. Hell, when we make the playoffs all will be forgiven. Will he ever be embraced the way CP3 or The Brow was/will be? Nope, but that's his own doing.
The season? Wow
Send his *** to Dr James Andrews or force retirement. I am tired of this. Puddin'....smdh
Jimmy Smith @JimmySmithtp
@TheofficialEG10 says latest MRI might have indicated some undetermined damage to painful right knee. More to come.
Who is defending him now? Seriously.. How can anyone defend him at this point?
I'm laughing.
Geesh does he have a Willis Mcgahee injury?
