Overview
- Gordon exited three minutes into Friday’s group-stage game against Houston with a right hamstring issue and was ruled out for the night.
- Before Saturday’s game against the Kings, Adelman said Gordon is seeking multiple opinions and that a clearer timeline will come soon.
- Denver still edged the Rockets 112–109, with Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray combining for 60 points and 19 assists.
- The forward had been in strong form at 20.3 points and 6.3 rebounds through 12 games after missing Wednesday’s win for hamstring management.
- His latest setback follows prior hamstring troubles, including a Grade 2 left strain last postseason, and Denver turned to Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jonas Valanciunas for added minutes after his exit.
