NBA News: Denver Nuggets‘ Aaron Gordon injured
The difficult start to the season for the Denver Nuggets (4-3) will probably continue: The 2023 champion will have to do without forward Aaron Gordon for several weeks. Gordon made a loud noise ESPN suffered a strained right calf in Monday’s win over the Toronto Raptors.
The Nuggets are not only losing Nikola Jokic’s partner in the frontcourt, but also an extremely important shooter: Gordon has hit 55 percent of his threes so far and averaged 15.4 points and 6.7 rebounds. The 29-year-old had his contract extended by four years and $133 million before the start of the season.
In addition to Gordon, point guard Jamal Murray also recently had to miss the game due to a concussion. On Thursday night, Denver will face the Oklahoma City Thunder.
