Aaron Gordon News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Leading scorer in Sunday's win Gordon dropped a team-high 25 points (9-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding six rebounds in 23 minutes during Sunday's preseason win over the Bulls.

Impact Denver's starting five all played at least 23 minutes as the team gets ready for Opening Night, and while Gordon stepped up with a strong scoring effort, Nikola Jokic also appeared to be in midseason form with a triple-double. Gordon has had trouble staying on the court the last couple years, playing a combined 87 regular-season games in 2024-25 and 2025-26, but he's been healthy this preseason and is averaging 18.3 points, 5.0 boards and 2.0 threes in just 16.0 minutes across three exhibition contests.

Scores 18 points on seven shots Gordon registered 18 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and five rebounds over 15 minutes in Tuesday's 93-79 preseason win over the Jazz.

Impact Despite logging just 15 minutes, Gordon led his team in scoring, free throw attempts and rebounding. He's looked spry this preseason, so he seems ready to bounce back after back-to-back injury-plagued seasons.

Looks good in preseason hitout Gordon totaled 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-3 FT, 1-3 3Pt) and four rebounds in 11 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 preseason loss to Utah.

Impact Gordon was limited to just 11 minutes, although he looked good, particularly on the offensive end of the floor. After playing just 87 games over the past two seasons, Gordon's priority appears to be maintaining a healthy body this season, which can only mean good things for fantasy, at least in terms of his availability. While his best is probably behind him, Gordon's importance to this team can't be overstated. His overall skill set doesn't translate particularly well to fantasy, although he is a viable target in the later rounds, even in standard formats.

Prioritizing health in 2026-27 Gordon is focused more on his health in an effort to avoid soft-tissue injuries after two injury-riddled seasons, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

Impact "I need to be here much earlier and stay much later," Gordon said. "And I need to invest a lot more time warming up and a lot more time cooling down so I can be available for these guys." After appearing in just 51 regular-season games (42 starts) in the 2024-25 season, the veteran forward played in just 36 outings (33 starts) last regular season. Gordon missed 38 of Denver's 48 games from Nov. 22 to March 5 due to a right hamstring strain, and he also missed time in the team's first-round series loss to Minnesota with a calf injury. However, the 31-year-old is ready to go ahead of the 2026-27 season and seemingly has made his health more of a priority.

Impact Gordon labored through a left calf issue during Denver's postseason run last year, missing three of the Nuggets' final four games in their first-round loss to the Timberwolves.

Set for big role again Gordon (calf) could see more usage for Denver in 2026-27 after Peyton Watson was shipped to Cleveland.

Impact Much like teammates Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson, Gordon experienced an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign but maintained strong productivity when healthy. Gordon averaged 16.2 points, his most since his time with Orlando, 5.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per game over 36 regular-season appearances, and Watson's departure presents one less obstacle for usage.
