The Denver Nuggets' injury-riddled regular season spiraled further out of control earlier this week when the announcement hit surrounding Aaron Gordon's latest injury: a second right hamstring strain of the year that will sideline him for four to six weeks, flaring up less than a month after his first game back from his previous injury.
The Denver Nuggets have continued to find success even without Nikola Jokic, defeating the Brooklyn Nets, 107-103, at Ball Arena on Thursday. The win spoiled Michael Porter Jr.’s first return to Denver since being traded to Brooklyn in the offseason.
Jamal Murray scored 27 points, Jonas Valanciunas hit two free throws with 2.6 seconds left, and the host Denver Nuggets beat the Brooklyn Nets 107-103 in Michael Porter Jr.'s return to the Mile High City.
Michael Porter Jr. made his return to Denver looking to play spoiler for the second time this season. Just before the game, the Nuggets received word that Aaron Gordon would be out another 4-6 weeks after reinjuring the hamstring that has plagued him the last two seasons.
Nikola Jokic stayed in street clothes again, but the Nuggets didn’t use that as an excuse. Instead, they leaned on balance, shot-making, and just enough late-game composure to outlast a scrappy Brooklyn Nets squad 107-103 in a game that felt tighter than Denver would’ve liked.

As the Denver Nuggets head into Thursday night’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, they will continue to see several key players out of the rotation, with Aaron Gordon being the latest addition to the list.
The Denver Nuggets have somehow managed to stay afloat even with Nikola Jokic out for the entire month of January. Now, the Nuggets have been dealt another blow, this time to Aaron Gordon, who will be out for at least four-to-six weeks due to a right hamstring strain.
