Watch Thunder vs Clippers on 10.30 PM ET Live.

After a disappointing start to the season, things appeared to be coming together for the Los Angeles Clippers with second-year guard Eric Gordon continuing to show improvement on the court.

With Gordon now expected to be out at least 10 days with a sore left groin, it could be a little while before Los Angeles’ offense resumes its resurgence.

The Clippers try to bounce back from a lackluster performance Wednesday night when they host an Oklahoma City Thunder team looking to avoid losing for the fifth time in six games.

Los Angeles (3-5) opened the season with four consecutive losses before winning three in a row with Gordon averaging 19.0 points on 52.8 percent shooting in those victories.

With center Chris Kaman controlling the paint, point guard Baron Davis running the offense and Gordon providing the scoring from the perimeter, the Clippers looked like they finally had found a successful offensive mix. They lost a piece of that lineup, though, when Gordon was hurt in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 113-110 victory over Memphis.

Gordon missed Monday’s 112-84 loss to New Orleans, and the team announced the extent of his injury Tuesday.

Without Gordon against the Hornets, Los Angeles’ offense looked completely out of sync, shooting 43.0 percent from the field after averaging 108.0 points on 50.2 percent shooting during the winning streak. Kaman had a season-low 14 points — down from 24.3 during the run — while Davis finished with eight points on 3 of 10 shooting after averaging 17.7 points in the previous three.
