Denver Nuggets Hamstring Havoc
30 Jan
Summary
- Aaron Gordon out for at least one month with hamstring strain.
- Four Nuggets starters currently sidelined with various injuries.
- Jamal Murray day-to-day with his own hamstring issue.

The Denver Nuggets are facing a significant injury crisis, with forward Aaron Gordon now out for at least a month due to a strained right hamstring. This exacerbates an existing issue that previously cost him six weeks. Gordon's absence is a major blow for the team, described as a crucial glue guy on both ends of the court. The Nuggets have a commendable 14-10 record in games missed by Gordon this season, and a +0.7 net rating when he is off the floor. Denver is currently without four starters, including Nikola Jokic, Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson, and Gordon. Adding to the concern, key player Jamal Murray is day-to-day with his own hamstring problem. Despite Jokic's absence for the past month due to a bone bruise, Denver has maintained a strong 9-5 record since he was sidelined and holds the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. Jokic is expected to be re-evaluated within the next week and is reportedly nearing a return.
