Aaron Gordon injury -update: nuggets forwards status in doubt for game 7 against Thunder, per report

The Denver Nuggets equipped themselves on Thursday evening with a victory in Oklahoma City Thunder with a win of 119-107 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but their chances of winning games may have scored a big goal when the power striker Aaron Gordon suffered a left-wing trunk late in the competition. His status is now 7 doubts on Sunday. According to Shams from Espn Charania.

The injury came with less than two minutes to play in the fourth quarter. The Chet Holmgren from Oklahoma City pulled the Gordon ball away, and Gordon chased him, but Alex Caruso dived to secure the possession. He tried to pass, but Gordon took the passport. After that, however, he grabbed his knee tendon and seemed to have a little pain.

Gordon remained in the game for about 35 seconds before he went on the bench with 1:10. He returned very briefly before he was replaced again to close the game.

After the game, Nugget's interim coach David Adelman was asked about the concern of Gordon's game 7 on Sunday.

“I have no idea at that time. It would obviously be high,” said Adelman. “Aaron is one of our boys we … he is a reason why we won games and won series and hung a banner there.”

Adelman said it was too early to know the extent of Gordon's injury, but to have two full days off before returning to the plot is very advantageous. According to Tony Jones from The Athletic, Gordon had neither a wrap nor an ice cream on his knee tendon when the changing room was open to media members.

“It is really nice to have two days for all boys to be treated and all these things. I have not received a clear answer. He is chic,” said Adelman. “But I mean that to have two days free – wow, that was a marathon. The boys there look happier than they have [Friday] Than going to a game 7. It gets really nice. It's nice to have two days to go to a Sunday matinee. The concern for Aaron is so high. He played a lot throughout this season, so we will see where he is. “

Gordon was absolutely critical for the Nuggets in this post, especially when co -wife Michael Porter Jr., who begins a shoulder injury. He entered game 6, which an average of less than 18 points per game and more defense than any other in Denvers squad.

In addition, he probably made the three biggest shots of the post-season-a Summers putback-dunk in game 4 against the Clipper, the 3-pointer in game 1 against Oklahoma City, and finally the game in game 3 sent the game to the game. Denver won it from there.

If he limps or fails, Denver suddenly has to find another 40 minutes of production from a bank that fought for the whole season. Julian Strawther was fantastic with 15 points on Thursday, and Peyton Watson can deliver part of the defense and cutting of Gordon, but this is an extremely thin squad. Losing Gordon would be devastating for Denver, so that the nuggets can now only hope that the injury is not as serious as it seemed.
