Nuggets Aaron Gordon Provides Positive Injury Update After Game 6 Win Over Thunder

Nikola Jokic led the way for Denver on Thursday night with 29 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists but he was not the only reason for the Nuggets’ victory.

Denver also saw other key players step up alongside Jokic including Jamal Murray, Christian Braun and Julian Strawther.

While all of these players played a key role in Thursday’s victory, the Nuggets saw their forwards Aaron Gordon struggle.

Gordon finished the game with only five points but he was able to record seven rebounds and seven assists.

This was a rare off game for Gordon as he has had an incredible playoff run thus far that includes two game-winning shots, including one in Game 1 of their second-round series against the Thunder.

Gordon also appeared to injure his hamstring late in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s victory but he provided a positive update after the game.

“I feel OK,” Gordon said. “We’ll see. I’m going to start the recovery process now and make sure I’m getting ready for Game 7.”

This is a positive update by Gordon after Nuggets interim head coach David Adelman provided a not so positive update before Gordon was interviewed.

Of course, Gordon dealt with a lingering hamstring injury throughout the season that caused him to miss multiple games but he will likely do everything possible to be ready for Game 7 on Sunday and it helps that he has two days of rest in between games.
