Eric Gordon attended workouts Monday at the Hornets practice facility.

“We talked this weekend, and he said he wanted to come down here and work out, see the guys and the coaches,” coach Monty Williams said. “That’s who he’s been since he’s been here. I’m excited about getting him back this summer. I think he’s going to be really good for these young guys.”

Gordon last week stated his intention to test free agency this summer.

The Hornets brought in nine draft prospects, including Terrence Jones, John Henson, Tyler Zeller and Austin Rivers.

“That’s a guy that I watched my whole life,” said Rivers, when asked about seeing Gordon in the stands Monday. “I’ve watched Eric Gordon a lot. He’s a great player and certainly will be an All-Star in my eyes a couple of years from now. It will be fun to play with him, and we’ll see what happens. It was cool to see him out there.”
