Gordon talks about his injury
Here is the story I wrote for today's paper about Drew Gordon's injury.
Also, I spoke to him about what he was missing by not playing with the U-19 national team.
"I'm missed some of the best workouts of a lifetime, in the high altitude (in Colorado Springs) and in New Zealand,'' said Gordon, who also looked at the positives."I'm home for my birthday, home for the fourth of july, things I have missed since I was a freshman in high school."
Gordon also talked about what is was like waiting for the test results. He was injured Tuesday, but didn't know the results until Thursday afternoon.
"Both nights were difficult. ...You don't know what was happening," he said. "I did sit up for a while and think of what possibly went wrong. I was hoping for tendonitis and I could tape it up."

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
A good line: "I'll just pretend the Men's Gym (at UCLA) is New Zealand,"
Men's Gym was great when I was student years ago.
