Gordon optimized his knee tendon on Thursday evening in the fourth quarter of the 6th game and had to leave the competition early. He had to strive to collect a loose ball after he accidentally picked him up from his foot, and he was a bit limp when he came up.

Gordon stayed briefly in the game, but was suspended. He ended with five points, seven rebounds and seven templates in the 119-107 victory in the Ball Arena, which forced a game 7.

The 29 -year -old Gordon achieved an average of 14.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game this season, his fourth full full in Denver. In October, the former Star of Arizona signed an extension of four years by $ 133 million with the Nuggets.

Gordon was great in the playoffs for the Nuggets. In his series, the 29-year-old achieved an average of 14.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in his series, and he met a 3-point awarded with the game to numb the thunder in game 1. The nuggets are a perfect 5: 0 in this off -season if Gordon scores at least 20 points.

Game 7 was set in Oklahoma City on Thursday afternoon. A victory would send the Nuggets to the Western Conference final for the second time in the past three years. The Thunder, who rolled the Western Conference and earned the top seeds, has not been in the conference final since 2016.
