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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon offered very little in the win, having now scored double-digit points 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 little reason to think his role or production will change moving forward.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 ease Gordon's usage.

Gordon isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Raptors, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon will be replaced by Kyle Lowry in the starting five Friday. Gordon came off the bench in 44 of his 68 regular-season appearances for Phoenix last year, so he is no stranger to this role.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Gordon will start Monday's preseason game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

With Caleb Martin operating off the bench, Gordon gets a crack in the starting lineup. The veteran is expected to be a sparkplug off the bench for Philadelphia this season.

Gordon is expected to come off the bench during Friday's preseason game versus the Timberwolves, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon started in the 76ers' first exhibition game against the NBL Breakers, though Paul George will replace him in the starting five on Friday. Gordon is expected to play a prominent role off the bench behind Kelly Oubre this year.
