Approaching the 82nd and final game of the 2025-2026 NBA season, the Denver Nuggets have loaded up their injury report.
As expected, the veteran forward, Aaron Gordon, is on the report.
Lately, Gordon has been dealing with some minor but concerning setbacks as the regular season winds down.
When the Nuggets faced the Oklahoma City Thunder at home on Friday night, Gordon was among several players who were held out for the night.
Fortunately, the Nuggets took care of business in Gordon’s absence. Denver defeated OKC 127-107.
Will Aaron Gordon Miss More Time Before The NBA Playoffs?
When the Nuggets announced their injury report on Saturday night, Gordon’s name was on the list. The veteran forward was ruled out as early as possible. Gordon’s injury designation is right hamstring injury management.
With Gordon’s season ending, the veteran forward finishes the 2025-2026 run with 36 games played. Gordon shot 49.7% from the field and hit on 38.9% of his threes, to produce 16.2 points per game.
In addition to his scoring, Gordon came down with 5.8 rebounds per game and dished out 2.7 assists per game.
While Gordon is missing time before the Nuggets’ upcoming playoff run, he isn’t expected to be out for the first round. Barring any unexpected setbacks, Gordon should be ready to roll after some necessary rest.
Who Else Is Out For The Nuggets vs Spurs?
The Nuggets ruled out several core players for Sunday.
According to the injury report, the Nuggets will be without Christian Braun, Tim Hardaway Jr., Cam Johnson, Spencer Jones, and Peyton Watson.
The only player on the report listed as questionable is the veteran superstar center, Nikola Jokic. With Jokic needing roughly 15 minutes of action to meet his 65-game requirement, the star center will do what it takes to qualify for awards.
The Nuggets and the Spurs are set for an 8:30 PM ET tip on Sunday.
