Undergoes mouth surgery Gordon has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs after undergoing surgery on the right side of his mouth, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Further details on Gordon's injury and a timetable for his return are unclear, though his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Celtics. With the veteran guard sidelined, Kyle Lowry and Jeff Dowtin could see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Frustrating season continues Gordon finished Friday's 108-98 win over Charlotte with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 16 minutes.

Impact Gordon offered very little in the win, having now scored double-digits only three times all season. Brought in as a proven perimeter scorer, Gordon has been nothing of the sort, hitting just 13 three-pointers in 18 games played. Now aged 36, there is no reason to think his role or production will change moving forward.

Plays 26 minutes off bench Gordon finished with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 121-108 victory over the Hornets.

Impact With Jared McCain (knee) done for the season, Gordon saw game action for the first time since Nov. 30 and played his most minutes since Oct. 27, when he played a season-high 32 during a win over the Pacers. Gordon has played 20-plus minutes only six times this season but should stick in the rotation as long as Caleb Martin (shoulder) remains out.

Slides out of rotation Gordon (coach's decision) went unused in Friday's 116-106 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The 76ers were down Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) on Friday and will be without the star point guard for the foreseeable future, but his absence wasn't enough for the struggling Gordon to keep his spot in the rotation. Rather than keeping Gordon in the fold as a backup on the wing, the 76ers opened up more playing time for Jared McCain (31 minutes) and Ricky Council (15 minutes), while Reggie Jackson (11 minutes) served as the primary backup to Kyle Lowry (32 minutes), who started at point guard in place of Maxey. Gordon had appeared in each of the 76ers' first seven games but averaged 7.0 points in 21.0 minutes while shooting 40.5 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Struggles in loss Gordon produced one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Gordon tallied a season-low one point during Wednesday's loss. For the first time in 2024-25, the veteran guard recorded more turnovers (four) than assists (two). Across his last five appearances, Gordon is averaging 7.8 points and 1.4 assists in 21.0 minutes.

Scores 10 points off bench Gordon finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 22 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Gordon scored double-digits for just the second time this season, continuing what has been a modest start to his career in Philadelphia. His days of being an elite three-point threat are now well behind him, having connected on five triples across the first five games. For the sake of the 76ers, the hope is that the return of Paul George and Joel Embiid from knee injuries will allow Gordon to take even more of a back seat.

Has forgetful night Friday Gordon amassed just three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3PT) in 18 minutes during Friday's 114-99 preseason loss to the Magic.

Impact Gordon was given the starting nod Friday but failed to deliver. Now in the twilight of his career, Gordon is merely a depth piece for the 76ers, providing them with a three-point scoring threat off the bench. While he will almost certainly have a handful of vintage performances throughout the season, Gordon is not someone who needs to be drafted, even in deeper formats.

Heading to Philadelphia Gordon has agreed to a one-year contract with the 76ers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gordon spent the 2023-24 campaign in Phoenix and averaged 11.0 points, 2.0 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 27.8 minutes per game over 68 regular-season appearances. He's converted 38.5 percent of his 5.4 three-point attempts per game over the past three seasons and should be a solid perimeter presence for his new team, but the extent of his role will likely depend on whether the 76ers land Paul George in free agency.

Declines player option Gordon declined his $3.4 million player option for the 2024-25 season Thursday and will become a free agent, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gordon's output has declined over the past few seasons, but he shot 37.8 percent from beyond the arc during the 2023-24 campaign during his first year with the Suns. Over 68 regular-season appearances with Phoenix, he averaged 11.0 points and 2.0 assists in 27.8 minutes per game. He's expected to draw interest from multiple contenders as a free agent, so he could carve out another decent role next year, especially if he maintains his three-point efficiency.
