Magic take Aaron Gordon out of starting lineup for violation of team rules

DALLAS _ The Orlando Magic will hold Aaron Gordon out of their starting lineup Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks because of what team officials labeled "a violation of team rules."

A source said Gordon arrived late for the Magic's flight to Dallas following practice Monday.

Coach Frank Vogel will employ a starting lineup of Elfrid Payton, Jonathon Simmons, Evan Fournier, Mario Hezonja and Bismack Biyombo, with Hezonja occupying Gordon's customary spot at power forward.

So far this season, Gordon has been a starter in every game he was healthy enough to play.

The Magic carried a four-game losing streak into the game, and they have lost 24 of their last 28 games.
