Eric Gordon: Suffers fractured ring finger Saturday

Gordon fractured his right ring finger in Saturday's game against the Jazz and won't return.

Analysis:

This is tough news for Gordon, who has now broken the same finger for the second time this season. The first time around, Gordon required surgery and sat out 16 games, so with just over a month remaining on the season, it's possible that the shooting guard could be shut down for good. With Gordon out, Alonzo Gee is the likeliest candidate to enter the starting five, but Jrue Holiday could be asked to take on added minutes as well.
