OKLAHOMA CITY - Rockets guard Eric Gordon missed a third consecutive game with a straight right adductor muscle. He had practiced on Wednesday and was listed as questionable, but was unable to end the Rockets' run of backcourt absences. Prior to Gordon sitting out, James Harden and James Ennis III each missed three games with strained hamstrings and Chris Paul missed two with a suspension.
"He's not 100 percent yet," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said of Gordon. "He practiced yesterday so hopefully (Gordon can return) next game."
The Rockets play in San Antonio on Saturday in the first game of a back-to-back.
