According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Aaron Gordon is out for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is after the Denver Nuggets discovered he had suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

Despite Gordon searching for any possible ways of being able to play, this injury typically takes a couple weeks to recover from. Stephen Curry suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain and was out for the entire series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

While he is in “doubt” to play in the elimination game, Denver officially lists him as “questionable” with a hamstring injury.

The 29-year-old suffered the injury in the final minutes of their Game 6 victory. Throughout the season, Gordon has dealt with various injuries concerning his leg and calf.

This postseason run has been an incredible run for Gordon impacting his Nuggets, as he averaged 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Plus, Gordon had two game-winners in this run.

Whoever wins Game 7 will punch in their ticket to the Western Conference Finals, where they will face off against Anthony Edwards’ Timberwolves.

After winning Game 6 and forcing a win-or-go-home Game 7, the Denver Nuggets could be without Aaron Gordon; an important piece throughout their entire postseason run.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Gordon suffered a left hamstring strain during the final minutes of Game 6. His status for Sunday’s game is officially in “doubt.”

Good news for both the Nuggets and Gordon, the schedule allows them to have an extra day off in-between Game 6 and Game 7. This gives the 29-year-old more opportunities to make the pain less and his hamstring manageable to play minutes.

It should be noted that Gordon has dealt with leg and calf injuries at different parts of the regular season. Unfortunately, his hamstring is now the latest victim of the injury bug.

With Gordon hitting multiple game-winners, averaging 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds, his contributions and overall minutes will be sorely missed if he is unable to play.

This will be an updating story from now until Sunday afternoon.

In an absolute crazy finish to a classic of a Game 4, Aaron Gordon commented on his game-winning put-back off Nikola Jokic’s missed shot, which confirmed his role with the organization.

“I’m just trying to clean up everything on the glass,” said Gordon about the play.

He got the ball out of his hands just as the red light appeared. We are talking mili-seconds. In fact, it was so close the officials needed several minutes and many different angles of the play to determine if it was good or not.

Referee Zach Zarba said afterwards that there was “clear and conclusive evidence that the ball was out of Gordon’s hands when the red light came on to end the game.”

The series is tied 2-2.
