The Orlando Magic are getting a much-needed boost Thursday night, as Aaron Gordon has been cleared to return to the lineup. The power forward has missed the last 15 games with an ankle injury.
Gordon returning to the lineup couldn’t come at a better time. The Magic are dealing with a rash of injuries and are down starters, Cole Anthony, Evan Fournier, James Ennis III, and sixth-man Terrence Ross.
The veteran power forward Gordon has been an integral part of the Magic lineup this season. He ranks second in rebounds and assists, and fourth in points, on a per-game basis.
