Ben Gordon scoreless in return to rotation
Ben Gordon - G - Charlotte Bobcats
Feb. 23, 2013 - 10:10 PM ET
Ben Gordon returned to the Bobcats' rotation in Sunday's defeat, finishing scoreless in 12 minutes off the bench.
Gordon has been clashing with Mike Dunlap, and as a result he received a DNP-CD on Friday. BG is easily the Cats' highest-paid player ($12.4 million) and there is zero doubt that he'll opt-in for $13.2 million next season. He can no longer agitate for an immediate trade, and sulking won't improve his trade value over the summer, so ideally he'll mute his frustrations and play well in a 15-20 minute role for the next two months.
