Rockets' Eric Gordon: Will play Sunday vs. Pacers

Gordon (back) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Pacers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Gordon has missed the last two games while nursing lower-back soreness, but he was able to go through Saturday's walkthrough and Sunday's morning shootaround without issue, prompting the Rockets to clear him to play. Look for Gordon, the Rockets' second-leading scorer at 17.4 points per game, to settle back into his usual role as the Rockets' sixth man. Sam Dekker figures to see his playing time take a hit now that Gordon is healthy.
