Denver Nuggets Playoff heroine Aaron Gordon was very questionable for the 7 -year game on Sunday, an ultimate Nugget defeat against Donna Oklahoma City after suffering a thigh injury during the Club 6 game. After a report on Sunday morning, it was questionable that the Gordon injury fed up for up to one month.

But in a scene directly from an inspiring sports film, Gordon came out of the tunnel for warm -up and actually fit the game of the nuggets. Nugget's Star Center Nikola Jokic made reporters that he did an impressive performance in view of the severity of his injury, which he should not play.

“Definitely playing with this injury – I told him not to play,” said Jokic. “You can get worse even worse. You can see that he has a little struggle. It is difficult to move, that and that. But he is a lion. He went out and fought with us and we can easily appreciate it.”

Gordon, who clearly worked through the injury, tried only four shots in 25 minutes, but managed to score 8 points and to achieve 11 rebounds. After the game, Gordon admitted that he could “not sprint” and said that if the nuggets had won, the injury would have forced him to miss “two or three games” in the conference final.

No wonder that Jokic advised his teammate to expose himself from the competition.
