Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon left Wednesday’s 109-99 loss to the Toronto Raptors early in the third quarter because of left hamstring tightness, the team announced. He did not return.
Gordon was going up for a dunk and was hit on the arm as Lowry went to strip the ball. Gordon’s left leg extended high in the air before he crashed to the floor and immediately reached for his left hamstring. He was able to shoot the ensuing free throws but then struggled to run down the court. He went to the locker room on the next timeout.
Lowry received a Flagrant 1 foul after a review by officials. Gordon had nine points and 11 rebounds at the time of his injury.
The 6-foot-8 forward is averaging 14.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists this season.
