New Orleans Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon, who required surgery last month to remove cartilage debris from his right knee, will begin practicing with the team next week.

Hornets Coach Monty Williams said Gordon has ramped up his workout regiment in a push to return to help the team.

Though the regular season is just more than a month from completion, Gordon said he wants to help bring back some options that hopefully bring more wins.

“I look forward to trying to get back,’’ said Gordon, who will become a restricted free agent this upcoming July.
