Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain, putting his participation in the crucial Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder this Sunday in doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The news arises after his exit from Game 6, where the player felt discomfort in his thigh during the last quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gordon, a key piece in the Nuggets’ championship in the 2022-23 season, has proven to be a fundamental element in the current postseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His playoff averages reach career highs, with 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, in addition to having starred in decisive plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A relevant fact is that the Nuggets have a 5-0 record this postseason when Gordon scores at least 20 points. In Game 6, Gordon tied his playoff career-high with 7 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gordon has been responsible for two game-winning shots this postseason: a buzzer-beating dunk in Game 4 against the LA Clippers and a three-pointer with three seconds remaining in Game 1 against the Thunder. He also scored a three-pointer that forced overtime in the Game 3 victory against Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Injuries have limited the 29-year-old Gordon to only 51 games during the regular season. He had to sit out in several stretches due to a right calf strain, an injury he is still managing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
