Gordon Beginning to Reach Potential Despite Injuries

Gordon played 19 minutes against the Houston Rockets before coming out with a sore right foot. He scored seven points with four assists before leaving the game, which became a 128-104 loss for Orlando.

The 21-year-old is in his third season with the Magic, entering the day averaging 11.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

While Gordon had shown flashes of solid play in his first two seasons after being selected with the No. 4 overall pick, this has become a breakout year for the young player. He became a full-time starter and is now a key part of the team's balanced offensive attack.

The team has also been satisfied with his improving defense.

"He's been put in a lot of tough spots this year in terms of these guys that he has to come in and guard," Vogel said, per Robbins. "For the most part, he's been at least solid and a lot of times really good."

Meanwhile, he is scheduled to compete in the Slam Dunk Contest on Feb. 18, where he will try to improve upon last year's runner-up finish to Zach LaVine. 

He missed a good portion of his rookie season due to a foot injury, although that was his left foot.
