Drew Gordon, the older brother of Denver Nuggets forward and 2023 NBA champion Aaron Gordon, has passed away in a tragic car accident, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. He was just 33 years old.
Gordon excelled in New Mexico (also spent two years at UCLA) before turning professional in 2012. He played nine games for the Philadelphia 76ers in 2014 and went on to enjoy a successful career overseas. The former First-Team Mountain West selection retired from basketball last July.
