Rookie Aaron Gordon Returns to Action for Magic

Talk about getting thrown into the fire. In his first game for the Orlando Magic in more than two months, Aaron Gordon began the second quarter Sunday night with the unenviable assignment of having to try to guard Kevin Durant.

Gordon’s eight points, three rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes won’t make the sting of a 127-99 drubbing at the hands of the Thunder go away. But in a game with few positives, his return topped the list.

“It felt great,” he said. “I just enjoy the game so much. You realize that when you’re not playing, how much you miss it. And when I got back out there, it’s fun.”
