Coach Monty Williams said they will continue to restrict Gordon’s minutes. However, Williams declined to say if he would play Gordon beyond the 24 minutes he played played last Saturday.

“He’s still on a minute restriction,” Williams said. “We’ll play it by ear on back-to-backs for now, and make sure we’re doing everything we can to keep him healthy, and keep him in top shape.

“At the same time, I don’t want everyone else backing off their game because Eric is back and playing. We went through this tough time, but we also had guys out there gaining confidence by doing things they’d never done before in an NBA game. We want to couple that confidence with what Eric brings to the table.”
