Jordan was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in the second round of the 2008 draft and spent his first decade with the team. He led the league in rebounding in consecutive seasons and earned his only All-Star selection in 2016-17. He later played for the Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets, where he won an NBA title as a backup in 2023.
