Nuggets' Aaron Gordon Out for Weeks with Calf Strain

Denver faces a challenging stretch as key player Gordon joins Jamal Murray on the injury list.

Aaron Gordon suffered a right calf strain in the first quarter of the Nuggets' win over the Toronto Raptors and is expected to miss multiple weeks.
Gordon's injury compounds Denver's woes, as the team is also missing Jamal Murray, who is in concussion protocol.
Before his injury, Gordon was averaging 15.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season.
The Nuggets, who are currently 4-3, will need to rely on bench players like Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji to fill the void left by Gordon.
Gordon recently signed a four-year, $133 million contract extension and is a crucial player for Denver, especially after their 2023 NBA championship win.
