76ers' Eric Gordon: Drills two triples in 11 minutes
Rotowire
Gordon contributed eight points (3-4 FG), one steal, two triples and one turnover in 11 minutes off the bench during Monday's 136-124 win over the Magic.
Gordon was collecting DNP-CDs through Philly's first two games, but he was able to crack the rotation Monday evening as part of the fallout from Joel Embiid's rest day, and to his credit, he did drill two big triples down the stretch to keep the 76ers on top for the win. It was a solid showing for the veteran, but he'll likely return to a negligible reserve role for Tuesday's game in D.C.

76ers' Eric Gordon: Out of action in win
Rotowire
Gordon didn't play in Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston.
Despite the absence of Jared McCain (thumb), Gordon remained a spectator in the season opener. VJ Edgecombe's immediate emergence also doesn't bode well for Gordon's chances at playing time, so the latter will likely be more of a veteran presence than on-court contributor going forward.
Gordon (wrist) managed two points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one assist in 13 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason loss to the Knicks.
After undergoing right wrist surgery at the end of February, the veteran sharpshooter has a clean bill of health for 2025-26. Until Jared McCain (thumb) is ready to play, it's possible Gordon will open the new campaign as part of the Philadelphia rotation.

76ers' Eric Gordon: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Gordon is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto with a right wrist sprain.
Gordon was unable to practice Monday with what appears to be a new injury for the veteran. If he's held out of the front end of this back-to-back set, Quentin Grimes could be a bit more involved for the 76ers on the wings.
Gordon (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
After missing consecutive outings with a knee injury, Gordon will return to Philadelphia's lineup Wednesday. The veteran sharpshooter has averaged 12.3 points, 2.9 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 3.0 threes while shooting 60.0 percent from deep over his last seven contests. Whether or not Gordon starts for the 76ers is likely contingent upon Paul George's (finger) status against Miami.
