• Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Slated to miss multiple weeks

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Gordon will miss multiple weeks due to a right calf strain he aggravated during Monday's win over the Raptors, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Gordon was initially trying to play through the injury and with good results -- he averaged 17.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 34.7 minutes per game over his first six appearances. However, he lasted only four minutes before being removed from Monday's game. The timeline is vague, but it wouldn't be surprising if Gordon missed at least a month. In his absence, Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther are the most likely candidates to see increased roles, but Hunter Tyson could also work his way into the rotation. However, the offense will presumably run through Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray (concussion), with Russell Westbrook seeing a boost until Murray is cleared to return.

  Gordon is questionable to return during Monday's game against the Raptors due to a right calf strain. Gordon suited up Monday despite a right knee contusion and right calf inflammation, though it seems he aggravated the calf injury in the first quarter. If the 29-year-old forward is unable to return, Peyton Watson and Hunter Tyson are candidates for an increased role the rest of the way.
