Overview
- Gordon left Friday’s NBA Cup game against the Rockets after three minutes following a collision with Steven Adams and did not return.
- ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the forward has a Grade 2 strain of his right hamstring and will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks.
- Head coach David Adelman said Gordon is seeking multiple medical opinions as the team takes a conservative approach.
- Denver is also without starter Christian Braun, who is expected to miss at least another month with a sprained left ankle.
- Gordon had opened the season with elite efficiency around 19–20 points per game, and Denver, now 12–4 after a loss to Sacramento, must lean on options such as Spencer Jones, Peyton Watson, Zeke Nnaji and DaRon Holmes II.
