    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LAS VEGAS (Ticker) -- Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon will miss the remainder of the NBA's Summer League with a strained left hamstring.

    The 19-year-old left Saturday's game against the Charlotte Bobcats with 8:01 remaining in the 4th quarter and didn't return.

    Selected seventh overall in the 2008 draft, the Indiana product was averaging 19 points and 6.5 rebounds in two games.</div>

    What's with all these top 10 picks having injuries? I mean, it may be a small injury, but still...

    Not to mention that Gordon, Beasley, and Rose all probably would've came straight out of high school if they had the chance...

    An injury is an injury, and still, this is summer league. Who's going to risk a promising career during summer league?
