Nuggets Star Gordon Suffers Setback
30 Jan
Summary
- Aaron Gordon reinjured his right hamstring, expected out for a month.
- Gordon missed 19 games earlier this season with a hamstring issue.
- Nuggets are also missing Jokic, Johnson, and Braun due to injuries.
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon is facing another lengthy absence due to a reinjured right hamstring. The team announced on Thursday that Gordon will be out for at least a month, with a re-evaluation scheduled in 4 to 6 weeks. This is a significant blow for the Nuggets, as Gordon has been a key offensive contributor, averaging 17.7 points and 6.2 rebounds this season.
This latest injury is a recurrence of a previous hamstring issue that caused Gordon to miss 19 games earlier in the season. The team is already grappling with multiple other injuries. Center Nikola Jokic is sidelined with a left knee issue, forward Cameron Johnson is out with a right knee injury, and forward Christian Braun is dealing with a left ankle sprain.
Gordon, 30, was acquired by Denver in a trade with Orlando in March 2021. He played an integral role in the Nuggets' 2023 NBA championship victory.
