Nuggets' Aaron Gordon questionable for game 7 against Thunder with the thigh injury: sources

The Denver Nuggets could be without the start of power striker Aaron Gordon for game 7 The athlete.

Gordon is officially listed as questionable for the competition on Sunday afternoon in the Paycom Center, Team Sources said The athlete. In the days and hours before the game, Gordon will try to continue to try to treat them, according to these sources.

The 6-foot 8 veteran loaded the left armpit against OKC in the fourth quarter of the Game 6 victory on Thursday evening while watching a loose ball. He started rubbing the knee tendon and initially stayed in the game, but left in the last few minutes. After the game, he was in a good mood in the changing room, laughed and joked with teammates.

Gordon's value for the nuggets was absolutely absolutely due to Denvers Playoff run. He scored two games in the post -season, one in the first round against the Los Angeles Clipperers and again in game 1 of the series against thunder. He was defensive and offensive as a secondary playmaker. He was a leader and distorted the squad.

If he is unable to play or is severely impaired, the thunder would have a great advantage. Even with Gordon, the nuggets are starved after depth. Without him, Denvers Rotation might show someone like Zeke Nnaji who played very economically in the playoffs.

If Gordon is no longer, the Nuggets Peyton Watson could start in his place, which is long, sporty and offers energy and outskirts. But he does not provide the kind of shooting, ball handling, games and insulation defense that Gordon does. There would be much more to Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray to wear a heavy burden.
