Aaron Gordon stays leading, even from the sidelines at practice 💯 Year 13 for AG begins next Thursday (10/22) vs. Oklah Via @NBA on X

What happened: Gordon is set to open the season Oct. 22 against Oklahoma City on ESPN. The league remains in preseason for the 2026-27 campaign.

Why it matters: Preseason practices determine rotation order and assignments before the opener. A veteran entering Year 13 provides continuity for that process.

What to watch: The next checkpoint is his on-court participation before the opener.
