The Indiana Pacers could target Orlando Magic restricted free agent Aaron Gordon, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Magic extended Gordon his $7.2-million qualifying offer on Tuesday, making the power forward a restricted free agent.
Indiana figures to have more than $20 million in salary cap space this summer, meaning they could sign Gordon to a significant offer sheet that the Magic would have the right to match.
Despite missing 24 games last season, Gordon is coming off his best NBA campaign, averaging 17.6 points and 7.9 rebounds.
