DALLAS – Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon, the team’s leading scorer and its steadiest player all season, was moved into a reserve role on Tuesday as a disciplinary measure for a violation of team rules.
Prior to Tuesday, Gordon had started each of the 31 games that he had played in this season. Head coach Frank Vogel planned to use Gordon off the bench against the Dallas Mavericks.
Gordon’s punishment is expected to last just one game and he most likely will be back in the starting five on Wednesday when the Magic face the Bucks in Milwaukee.
