Aaron Gordon, Denver Nuggets forward, is ready to return to the court after missing two games due to a dog bite incident.
Gordon required 21 stitches across his shooting hand and face after being bitten by his pet Rottweiler on Christmas Day.
The NBA player blames himself for the incident, admitting he had 'probably had a little too much eggnog' and was roughhousing with his dog.

Gordon is expected to play in the Nuggets' game against the Charlotte Hornets.
