Aaron Gordon Faces Continued Minutes Restriction Saturday
4 years agoOrlando Magic small/power forward Aaron Gordon will remain near his 26-minute cap during Saturday's contest versus Washington. The limited minutes did not affect Gordon in the slightest during his first game of the year as he compiled 20 points, seven rebounds, and four steals in that span. While he is expected to get a bump in workload, it isn't expected to go as high as his 32.5-minute average from last year. Behind Gordon on the depth chart is Chuma Okeke, who is facing a minutes cap of his own. It's far too early in the season to speculate on how the Magic's rotation will shake out consistently, but Gordon should be facing no minutes restrictions sometime in the near future so long as he remains healthy.
