Gordon is out for Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Timberwolves, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. Gordon attempted to warm up ahead of Thursday's clash, but he's not feeling healthy enough to give it a go. Spencer Jones stepped into the starting lineup in Gordon's place in Game 5 and should be considered the favorite to start again in Game 6.

Iffy for Game 6
Gordon (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 6 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Timberwolves. Gordon missed Games 3 and 5 due to left calf tightness and may remain out for Thursday's win-or-go-home matchup. The veteran forward logged only 23 minutes in Game 4, so even if he's cleared to suit up Thursday, he could operate under a minutes restriction.
Unavailable for Game 5
Gordon (calf) has been ruled out for Game 5 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Timberwolves on Monday. Gordon struggled at times during Game 4 due to his calf injury, and he simply isn't feeling healthy enough to give it a go Monday night. Spencer Jones drew the start in Gordon's place in Game 3 and will be a candidate to do so again Monday.
