We're now over six months removed from the Denver Nuggets' offseason deal to send out Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected first round pick to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Cam Johnson–– a trade that's certainly had some interesting results pan out in the early months because of it.

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.
