76ers Guard Eric Gordon Out for Three Months After Wrist Surgery

The veteran sharpshooter is sidelined for the remainder of the regular season, dealing a blow to Philadelphia's slim playoff hopes.

Eric Gordon underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right wrist and will be re-evaluated in three months, effectively ending his regular season.
The 36-year-old guard, signed by the 76ers in July, had emerged as the team's most consistent three-point shooter this season, averaging 40.9% from beyond the arc.
Philadelphia is currently 12th in the Eastern Conference, 2.5 games behind the final Play-In Tournament spot with 24 games left in the season.
The injury compounds an already difficult season for the 76ers, who are on a nine-game losing streak and battling numerous setbacks.
Gordon's recovery timeline casts doubt on his availability even if the 76ers make a deep playoff run, with the conference finals scheduled for mid-to-late May.
