The Houston Rockets expect guard Eric Gordon to return to action Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans after missing almost seven weeks following knee surgery. Gordon has been out since Nov. 11, when he scored 17 points in the Rockets’ 122-116 road victory against the Pelicans. Tests showed debris in his knee that needed to be cleaned up, according to Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni. Gordon, 30, is averaging just 10.9 points in 29.4 minutes in nine games (two starts) this season. The Rockets’ four-game winning streak ended with a 116-104 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
