As the NBA regular season nears its end, the Denver Nuggets fell short in their attempt to catch up with the leaders after suffering a close loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This setback not only affected their standing in the table but also resulted in an injury to Aaron Gordon, which has left fans anxious about his health and potential recovery time.
Here’s everything you need to know regarding the 29-year-old power forward’s latest ailment.
What happened to Aaron Gordon?
Aaron Gordon sustained an injury in his right calf in the Nuggets’ 127-103 loss vs Oklahoma City.
During the initial phase of the competition, an unfortunate event took place when Gordon had to leave the court due to discomfort in his right calf muscle. Before having to leave, he managed to score five points from three shots and grabbed a few rebounds. Despite Denver not yet confirming his absence from the playoffs, Gordon did not reappear on the court before his first-quarter departure.
When will Aaron Gordon return to play for the Nuggets?
Right now, I’m unsure about the extent of Aaron Gordon’s injury, so I can’t tell exactly when he’ll be back on the court after recovery. I sure hope it won’t take too long!
During a post-game discussion, Michael Malone, the Nuggets’ head coach, mentioned that he would need to consult with the medical team regarding Gordon’s condition, as he was unable to rejoin the game. We will have to await their assessment for further updates. (The Denver Gazette)
Significantly, on November 4, 2024, Gordon sustained an injury in his right calf, causing him to miss games for four weeks. He returned on December 1st but only played for 24 days before re-straining the same muscle on Christmas Day, keeping him out for another three weeks. It’s possible that he might make a comeback before Denver’s playoff run, but it’s too early to tell for certain until we get more information from his additional medical evaluations.
The Nuggets will be playing a rematch against Oklahoma City in their next NBA matchup.
