Magic forward injured his left ankle in the third quarter Sunday and did not return.

Magic forward Aaron Gordon injured his left ankle on Sunday, exiting Orlando’s game vs. Toronto.

With 1:14 left in the third, Gordon rolled his ankle bringing the ball upcourt, immediately shifting into a hop step as he reached down, wincing. He later left the court on crutches, foot unadorned.

The seventh-year swingman is averaging 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists, shooting 42.7% from the floor, including 36.9% from long range. His points and rebounding average represent four-year lows, though the assist number would set a career-best.
