7 years agoOrlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. He was doubtful heading into Wednesday, but this was a no-brainer for Orlando. Sitting Gordon will allow him an extra eight days of rest and he's already withdrawn from the dunk contest. The Magic have a solid chance of landing the No. 1 pick in the draft, so they can afford to be cautious with Gordon. Mario Hezonja will start and he's been fantastic in the absence of Gordon this season.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
