Nuggets' Aaron Gordon Sidelined Indefinitely After Dog Bite

The NBA player, who required 21 stitches, is in good condition but will take time off to recover from the incident.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon suffered lacerations to his face and right hand from a family dog bite on Christmas, requiring 21 stitches.
Gordon is in good condition but will remain away from the team indefinitely to recover.
Gordon is a key player for the Nuggets, averaging 13.6 points and 6.9 rebounds for the defending NBA champions.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone emphasized the team's support for Gordon and stated he won't be rushed back to the court.
The Nuggets have previously managed without Gordon for five games due to a strained right heel, and without point guard Jamal Murray for over a dozen games due to ankle and hamstring issues.
