Aaron Gordon Out Indefinitely for Nuggets with Right Calf Strain
Aaron Gordon of the Denver Nuggets is dealing with a right calf strain. He will not be playing for an indefinite period. The injury was first reported on December 25, 2024, and has kept him off the court since then.
What It Means
Gordon’s absence is a significant loss for the Nuggets. He averages 13.7 points per game and contributes 5.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game this season. His shooting accuracy is noteworthy, with a field goal percentage of 52.3% and three-point shooting at 44%.
The team will need to rely more on players like Dario Saric, who ranks second in the power forward position for the Nuggets. Saric plays an average of 13.6 minutes per game but scores only 3.4 points per game, which may impact the team’s performance without Gordon’s presence on the floor.
