Gordon, who was undrafted out of UT Arlington in 2024, spent most of the last two years in the G League. He played 34 games for the Noblesville Boom in 2025-26, averaging 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 27.6 minutes per game and a .523/.456/.657 mark.

He also averaged 13.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 27.3 minutes per game for the Crimson Tide before agreeing to terms with the Hornets. in June.
