Gordon (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Thursday.
This is a brutal blow for Denver and for Gordon's fantasy managers. If he's re-evaluated at the front end of this timetable, a return against the Thunder on Feb. 27 would be the best-case scenario. In Gordon's absence, Peyton Watson will likely take on a larger role, and Spencer Jones and Bruce Brown could see more run as well.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Ruled out for Thursday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) won't play Thursday against the Nets.
The Nuggets have yet to provide any updates on the severity of Gordon's hamstring injury, but considering this injury has been giving him trouble since the start of the season, it wouldn't be shocking to see him get hit with another lengthy absence. Peyton Watson has been the primary beneficiary with Gordon sidelined.

Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against the Pistons.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Memphis.
Gordon exited Friday's win over Milwaukee after aggravating his right hamstring injury, and now he'll miss Sunday's matchup with Memphis. Peyton Watson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game, and if he's forced to join Gordon on the sidelines, that would open up a ton of opportunity for Zeke Nnaji and Julian Strawther. For now, Gordon should be considered doubtful for Tuesday's game versus Detroit.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Shut down with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) won't return to Friday's game against the Bucks, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Gordon aggravated his strained right hamstring in the first half, and he'll finish with 13 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 16 minutes. The veteran forward previously missed over a month due to the same injury, and even if this latest recurrence proves to be less severe, Gordon appears highly likely to miss time once again. The Nuggets return to action Sunday in Memphis.

Rotowire
Gordon is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Bucks due to a right hamstring strain, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
Gordon didn't start the second half and may be held out of the final two quarters due to the hamstring injury.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Produces despite questionable tag
Rotowire
Gordon ended with 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 win over the Wizards.
Gordon brushed off a questionable tag stemming from a lingering hamstring issue, and he neared his season averages, despite making just one of his six attempts from three-point range. The Arizona product had the same designation in Denver's prior game versus the Lakers, and he played 32 minutes in that one as well. These are good signs for Gordon's production going forward, but the team might be cautious given he missed 19 straight games earlier this season.
