Gordon Day-to-Day After MRI on Hammy

By Benjy Lipsman in News on Apr 27, 2009 8:40PM

During the first half of yesterday's Bulls-Celtics game, shooting guard Ben Gordon injured his left hamstring. While it didn't seem to slow him down during the game -- he scored 22 points and hit a key 3-pointer to send the game into double overtime -- there was cause for concern.

"I was driving and I heard something pop," said Gordon, who managed to play through the discomfort after receiving an anti-inflammatory shot at the half. An MRI had been scheduled for this morning, and result confirmed it is just a strained hamstring. Without a tear, Gordon is officially listed as day-to-day on the injury report. We have a feeling, though, that there's nothing that would keep him from taking the court for Tuesday's game five.
