"New Orleans Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon made the next cut of players in contention to represent the U.S. men's basketball team at the London Olympic Games this summer. Gordon, a member of the U.S. team that won the 2010 FIBA world championships in Instanbul, Turkey, was one of 20 players whose names were revealed as Team USA finalists Monday by USA Basketball.

Gordon, however, said Monday the bone bruise that has kept him out of all but two games this season will probably keep him sidelined for the entire two- to three-week rest period that began Jan. 6."
