Drew Gordon had a taste of the NBA in Philly back in 2014-15, appearing in nine games with the Sam Hinkie 76ers. Aaron Gordon’s younger brother has spent the last three years overseas in the French, Lithuanian and Russian clubs, most recently with Zenit St. Petersburg (with former Net Sergey Karasev.)
The Nets signed the 28-year-old power forward to a training camp contract then waived him and offered him a shot with the Long Island Nets. He’s happy to be here, as he told Owen O’Brien of Newsday.
“I’ve basically been living my life out of four suitcases for the last five, six years,” said Gordon at Long Island Nets media day.
