The Clippers open their preseason at Portland in less than an hour and already there is one development..

Coach Vinny Del Negro has opted to rest shooting guard Eric Gordon, who will not play against the Trail Blazers. This is not entirely a surprise considering he pulled Gordon out of practice a little early on Monday at Playa Vista. And Gordon is coming off a basketball-filled summer, of course.

This will be the first opportunity for the Clippers to get looks at rookies Eric Bledsoe and Al-Farouq Aminu.

Also former Clipper Marcus Camby won’t be playing tonight for Portland. He is out because of an injured groin.

We won’t be at courtside in Portland, preferring our rainy weather in Southern California. Sadly, the game is not on TV, either.

So back to LeBron and Co. on NBA-TV.
