Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Slated to miss multiple weeks
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.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Drops 24 on Nets
Gordon ended Tuesday's 144-139 overtime victory over Brooklyn with 24 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 33 minutes.
It's the best scoring performance of the season so far for Gordon, who appears to have put in some work on his shooting during the offseason. After sagging to 29.0 percent shooting from three-point range and 65.8 percent at the free-throw line in 2023-24, The veteran forward has come out of the gates firing this season by shooting 40.0 percent (4-for-10) from beyond the arc and 85.7 percent (18-for-21) from the charity stripe. While the samples are small, any improvement from Gordon in those areas would go a long way toward bolstering the Nuggets' offense behind Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Sniffs triple-double in OT win
Gordon finished Monday's 127-125 overtime win over the Raptors with 16 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 42 minutes.
Even though Nikola Jokic carried Denver to a much-needed first victory of the season, Gordon was impressive in his own right and finished just two assists away from recording a triple-double. He's enjoying a solid start to the season, but this was a step in the right direction after struggling with his shot in his first two contests.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Inks max extension
The Nuggets signed Gordon to a four-year, $133 million max extension Monday, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Gordon's extension includes a player option in the 2028-29 season and a trade kicker that should keep him in Denver for the long haul. The 29-year-old is coming off a down year with the Nuggets, during which he averaged 13.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 combined steals plus blocks across 31.5 minutes per regular-season game. The 10-year vet still shot an efficient 55.6 percent from the field, though he regressed from previous years from downtown while shooting 29.0 percent from deep. Gordon will continue to serve as the club's starting power forward, and with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope departing this offseason, Gordon could get more involved on the offensive side of the ball.
