Gordon (shoulder) is expected to participate in Sunday's practice and his return to game action is imminent, the Times-Picayune's Nakia Hogan reports.

Analysis:

Coach Monty Williams is still unsure if he will start Gordon or bring him off the bench when he returns (possibly Monday), but it is worth noting that Gordon was one of the worst players in the league statistically prior to his injury. Gordon's ability to recover from Sunday's practice will be critical in his ability to play in Monday's game. Due to his ineffectiveness in recent years, Gordon is not a must-add in standard leagues.
