Alex Gordon Injury

Gordon tore his quad yesterday which should end his season. Initially it was thought that he strained a groin muscle but instead it was released that he tore the quad. If it was thought to be a groin strain, the quad tear must be high up there very close to his hip and likely involves the Rectus Femoris muscle of the quad.

This muscle is the only one of the 4 muscles of the quad that crosses the hip joint and aids in hip flexion. Tearing of this muscle takes a couple months to recover (at least) usually which means I expect Alex to be done for the season.

He still hasn't lived up to the hype yet but this means he could be a great sleeper candidate entering next year.
