Nuggets coach David Adelman expressed deep concern for Aaron Gordon after the forward suffered a hamstring injury in Game 6 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The injury occurred late in the game as Gordon chased a loose ball, limping off the court and grabbing his left hamstring. Despite the injury, the Nuggets managed to secure a 119-107 win, forcing a Game 7.
Adelman stated postgame that he is unsure of the severity of Gordon’s injury but emphasized that the concern for the forward is “high.” Gordon, a key player for the Nuggets, has been instrumental in their success throughout the season and playoffs. His contributions in the postseason include averages of 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, both higher than his regular-season stats.
The Nuggets have a few days before their next game, providing Gordon with some time to recover. However, his status for Game 7 remains uncertain, and his potential absence could significantly impact the team’s chances in the crucial matchup.
