NBA Insider Shams Charania von ESPN reported on the news on social media.

“Denvers Aaron Gordon has a thigh strains of the 2 degrees 2 and takes several weeks to recover from the injury.

This is certainly a massive blow for the chances of the nuggets, not only in game 7, but also if you should progress. Denver is more in this game than to go down the thunder on the street, but losing Gordon is hard.

Gordon was electrically for the Nuggets this season and offers you a solid option alongside the stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Sometimes its value can be underestimated, but Gordon was one of the more constant players for Denver.

The striker scored an average of 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.5 steals per competition this season. Gordon also shot 43.6 percent from the 3-point line this season.

Gordon was great for the nuggets in this series with The Thunder and helped them bring the top seeds to the margins in the Western Conference. The veteran hit a game -winning shot in game 1 and also played an excellent defense against Oklahoma City.

Since Gordon has probably not got out of the line -up, others have to stand up for the nuggets. Denver is an experienced team and they have been to difficult situations before, but without one of the core players, things become narrower.

The winner of this game 7 will pass to the final of the Western Conference, where they will take over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota waited several days after it completed the Golden State Warriors in five games.
