Veteran guard Eric Gordon is back where his NBA career started with the Clippers, learning a new system but ready to play a familiar supporting role.
The 34-year-old guard practiced for the first time since
His ultimate responsibilities are already understood from his time complementing ball-dominant superstars such as James Harden and Chris Paul in Houston. In a season in which the championship ambitions hinge on the Clippers’ duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, it’s Gordon’s job — and those of guard Bones Hyland and backup center Mason Plumlee, who also practiced Monday for the first time since their trades here — to help the stars, and thus the team as a whole, play their best.
“I’ve maybe been on two teams where we even talked about championships, and that’s in 10 years,” Plumlee said of his NBA career. “So to come into this situation, it’s an opportunity. It’s something I don’t take for granted.” “You got a lot of talent on this team,” Gordon said of the Clippers. “And whenever you have a good team like this, things can come a lot more easier than when you’re on teams that are trying to figure out ways to win.”
