Aaron Gordon's brother ruined everything.
The Magic star broke his jaw while "horsing around" with his bro earlier, and now, he's undergone surgery.

However, his summer workouts have been put on hiatus for a few weeks after surgery to repair a fractured jaw, the team announced Friday. He is expected to be back and ready to play by the start of the NBA season, although no official timetable was announced.
How did it happen? From the official release:
Gordon, 19 and the second-youngest player in the NBA this past NBA season, was injured while visiting with family and horsing around with older brother, Drew. The native of San Jose, Calif. underwent surgery in California earlier this week.
Gordon averaged 5.2 points and 3.6 rebounds per game as a rookie this past season. He started to look particularly impressive during Orlando Summer League, when his jumper began to take form. Hopefully, this injury doesn't hold him back come the start of the season.
