"Big bruh lives thru me 🖤," Gordon wrote in the caption.

For Aaron Gordon, the last thing on his mind is likely basketball. This offseason will be about finding solace and figuring out a way to be at peace for Gordon. Grief comes in many forms, and sometimes it isn't a thing that can just be overcome within a couple of months that the offseason provides. Hopefully, Aaron Gordon can surround himself with the comfort and support that he needs in this incredibly difficult time.

Drew Gordon was only 33 years old and was less than two months away from his birthday before passing away. He was a French League All-Star in 2016, Italian Cup Winner in 2014, and Russian League All-Star in 2018. Drew was also a successful college player, when he was first-team All-MWC in 2012 and the MWC tournament MVP in 2012. Drew Gordon was beloved by any NBA players that had the pleasure of knowing him, and will be greatly missed.
