Orlando Magic rookie Aaron Gordon can't seem to escape the injury bug.

The forward, who missed more than half the season after breaking his left foot in November, has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks due to a sprained right ankle.

Gordon suffered the injury during Wednesday's loss to the Miami Heat.

The fourth overall pick in last June's draft, Gordon appeared to injure his ankle when he drove the ball despite losing his right shoe

Aaron Gordon needs to tie his shoes better apparently. Didn't even need Ty Chandler to lose it

The 19-year-old, who has shown signs of becoming an excellent defender, is averaging 5.6 points and three rebounds in 15.5 minutes.
