Aaron Gordon set to return to contact this week

Aaron Gordon is set to return to contact practice later this week, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports. Gordon fractured his jaw in July but has participated in all non-contact drills during training camp. He has publicly aimed for his return to take place before the Magic’s trip to Brazil this week.
