The Denver Nuggets have acquired forward Aaron Gordon from the Orlando Magic in exchange for veteran shooting guard Gary Harris, rookie R.J. Hampton and a first-round draft pick. Denver also is receiving forward Gary Clark as part of the trade package.
The 25-year-old Gordon averaged 14.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists for the Magic this season. He was the fourth overall pick by Orlando in the 2014 draft. Gordon may be best remembered for his performances during NBA slam dunk contests. In 2020, he finished runner-up in a showdown with Derrick Jones Jr. Gordon missed the playoffs last season due to a strained left hamstring.
