The end seemingly is near.
When Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier take the court against the Suns on Wednesday night, it could very well be for the final time as members of the Orlando Magic.
The two became a part of the Magic’s core in 2014, and in the years since, there has been a lot of losses and a lot of frustration, which Gordon highlighted on Tuesday as the reasons he requested a trade from the Magic. The two helped guide the Magic back to the postseason in 2019 for the first time since Dwight Howard’s departure in 2012, but outside of some thrilling Dunk Contest performances by Gordon and the occasional buzzer-beater by Fournier, there have been far fewer highs than lows during their tenure.
