The former Arizona Wildcats forward was acquired by the Denver Nuggets before Thursday’s NBA Trade Deadline, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Denver will send Gary Harris, RJ Hampton, Gary Clark and a first-round pick to Orlando.
Orlando is including Gary Clark in the deal too, sources tell ESPN.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) March 25, 2021 Gordon, 25, will be a key player for a Nuggets team that is 26-18 (good for fifth in the West) but needs help defensively, ranking 19th in the NBA in defensive rating.
