Aaron Gordon News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Will play Sunday Gordon (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact As expected, Gordon will shed his probable tag while the club manages his workload after a 19-game absence due to a right hamstring strain. The veteran forward has appeared in three of the Nuggets' last four games following the extended absence, during which he has averaged 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 22.7 minutes per game off the bench.

Listed as probable for Sunday Gordon is probable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to a right hamstring strain.

Impact Gordon was probable before Friday's game against the Hawks but ended up playing and posting 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists across 24 minutes. He's yet to play more than 25 minutes since returning to the rotation on Jan. 4 after missing 19 contests between Nov. 22 and Jan. 2 due to the same right hamstring strain he's managing now. That said, the probable tag suggests Gordon should be able to play and handle the same workload he's been managing of late.

Available to play Gordon (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Gordon has come off the bench the past two games as he works his way back from the hamstring injury, but that could change Friday night with Jamal Murray (ankle) unavailable. Gordon will likely see an uptick in usage Friday night, so even with minutes restrictions, he's an attractive option in daily fantasy leagues.

Impact Gordon should be good to go for Friday's game, and it'll be interesting to see how much longer the reserve role and minutes restrictions continue. Check back closer to Friday's tip for official confirmation on Gordon's status.

Drills two triples Gordon ended with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 win over the Celtics.

Impact Gordon is getting back up to speed after returning from a hamstring injury, and he took another step in the right direction Wednesday night. He's scored in double figures off the bench in each of his first two games back and saw his workload increase to 23 minutes in Boston. It's unclear when Gordon will be released from a minutes limit, but Peyton Watson should continue to benefit until that time comes.

Available to play Gordon (hamstring) will play Wednesday in Boston.

Impact Gordon sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday, but he'll be back in action Wednesday evening, and he could be cleared for slightly more minutes. Gordon's return will likely correspond with Peyton Watson heading back to the second unit and Zeke Nnaji's minutes could dip a bit.

Probable for Wednesday Gordon (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Impact Gordon is trending in the right direction after previously carrying a questionable tag. During Monday's game versus the 76ers, Gordon was held out for injury maintenance for the second leg of the back-to-back set. With Gordon expected back, guys like Peyton Watson, Spencer Jones and Hunter Tyson will likely see their fantasy appeal take a hit.

Questionable for Wednesday Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Impact Gordon remains day-to-day after getting a maintenance day Monday versus the 76ers. With Gordon out of the lineup Monday, Peyton Watson put on an offensive clinic for Denver, and guys like Hunter Tyson and Spencer Jones saw more reps as well.

Won't play Monday Gordon will be rested Monday against the 76ers.

Impact This is an expected update from the Nuggets, as Gordon made his first appearance since Nov. 21 on Sunday against the Nets. He looked sharp in the win, finishing with 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes. Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones will likely pick up some minutes with Gordon getting the night off for maintenance.

Posts 20 points off bench in return Gordon (hamstring) racked up 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.

Impact The Nuggets opted to have Gordon come off the bench in his first appearance since Nov. 21 due to a hamstring strain, though the veteran forward picked up right where he left off before going down. Gordon is now averaging 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per tilt through 14 games, shooting 53.3 percent from the field. Given DaRon Holmes' lack of experience as a starter, it wouldn't be surprising if Gordon soon made his way back into the first unit at center to plug the hole left behind by Nikola Jokic's (knee) absence.

Will play Sunday Gordon (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's game in Brooklyn.

Impact Gordon hasn't played since Nov. 21, so he'll be eased back into things in his first game back with some minutes restrictions, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him skip Monday's game in Philadelphia. With Gordon back in the mix, Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones' minutes could dip.

Questionable for Sunday Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Gordon hasn't played since Nov. 21 due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, but he joined the Nuggets on the road trip and is due back any day now. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so he may only play in one of these games if he gets the green light.
