Gordon's Hamstring Woes Return: Out vs. Bucks

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon exited their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on national television due to a hamstring issue. Gordon sustained the injury in his right thigh late in the second quarter. He was initially listed as questionable to return but was ultimately ruled out by the team. DaRon Holmes II replaced him in the starting lineup for the second half. This incident is particularly concerning as Gordon had previously missed over a month due to a strained right hamstring. The team will be closely monitoring his status going forward.

The shorthanded Nuggets were already playing without Nikola Jokic. Gordon's sudden departure further depleted their roster during the nationally televised matchup as part of AWS Rivals Week. The severity of the new hamstring problem remains to be seen, but the recurrence of the injury is a significant concern for the team.
