Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon to Miss Another 4-6 Weeks with Hamstring Injury

Thursday, the Denver Nuggets announced that forward Aaron Gordon will miss extended time after reinjuring his right hamstring last Friday.
Gordon had recently returned from a month-long absence after a Grade 2 hamstring strain on Nov. 21 in Houston and missed 24 of Denver's first 47 games with a minutes restriction earlier this month.
During the Milwaukee game, Gordon pulled up spontaneously late in the first half, aggravating the hamstring in the second quarter of Denver's 102-100 loss after logging 33 minutes the previous night.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Gordon will be reevaluated in four-to-six weeks and sidelined for at least a month after a delayed MRI—postponed by a Memphis blizzard—led to mid-week testing confirming a serious injury.
The setback compounds Denver's injury concerns as the Nuggets navigate a critical stretch, remaining 9-6 without Nikola Jokić but losing 109-107 to the Detroit Pistons.
