Aaron Gordon Injury Update
Aaron Gordon is out with a hamstring injury. He missed Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans to manage the issue. The Nuggets are calling it hamstring injury management. He started feeling sore after the last game against the Bulls. He has not had any major injury this season, just these minor hamstring problems showing up after games. His next chance to play is Friday in Houston.
DNVR Nuggets shared a tweet on Aaron Gordon status
Staff call it a day-to-day situation. Gordon is not dealing with a big or serious injury. The team is resting him to avoid making it worse. He has already missed one game earlier in the month for the same reason. The team wants to keep him fresh as the season moves forward.
He has been playing well. This season, Gordon is averaging over 20 points and more than 6 rebounds per game. He has shot above 53 percent from the field—one of the best on the team. But the Nuggets are being careful because they rely on him for defense and energy.
When Gordon does not play, others like Tim Hardaway Jr. and Peyton Watson get more minutes. The team needs Gordon’s defense, especially against strong forwards.
For now, expect updates closer to Friday’s game. If the soreness goes away, Gordon could return then. If not, he might take more time off. His status will likely stay day-to-day until the hamstring feels better.
