Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon sat in front of his locker in the back rooms of the FiservForum on Saturday. He had taken himself out of the game in the third quarter after he said his Achilles locked up on him. Aaron Gordon kept trying, but it was not enough.
He had tried to loosen it up before the game and play through it, but could not pull through. Gordon was struggling clearly, shooting just 2 for 9. Something was lingering. It had been for a while.
Gordon knew something was not right.
