Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon could miss one-to-two weeks after injuring his ankle in Tuesday's scrimmage against the Boston Celtics, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Gordon is undergoing further evaluation on his ankle Wednesday, and a more definitive outlook will be provided, Wojnarowski adds.

Gordon suffered the injury in the second quarter against the Celtics. Gordon's ankle landed awkwardly on the foot of Boston's Vincent Poirier after leaving his feet to throw a pass to Robert Covington. He remained down on the court for several minutes and needed assistance to head to the locker room.

X-rays on Gordon's ankle earlier returned negative, sources told Wojnarowski.
