Denver Nugets Forward Aaron Gordon was listed on the morning injury report against Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday afternoon as a suspect for Game 7 of the Western Conference Semi -final.
However, ESPN reported that Gordon is unlikely to play in the road game.
According to ESPN, Gordon has grade 2 hamstring stress and requires “several weeks” for recovery. He left Game 6 late Thursday in the fourth quarter with injury.
Gordon, 29, is in his fifth season with Nagets and was a prominent player in the 2022–23 NBA championship team.
In 13 playoff games this season, he organizes an average of 16.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.9 per game more than 38.2 minutes.
He was limited to 51 games in a regular session due to a right calf and sprain left ankle.
After passing through a walkthrough at Gordon Denver on Saturday, interim coach David Edelman said no decision was taken about his availability.
“I am sure Hops (to jump through) perhaps small because the game is coming so soon,” he said. “This is not a thing where it has three weeks to go. So it will probably be comfortable with it, as well as with the advice of medical staff what he can do and what he cannot do.
“If they say that it is available, it will begin.”
The ESPN report put on suspicion.
Gordon hit the two game-gonna this postsen: a sting against Los Angeles Clippers in the early game 4 and a 3-poet in closed seconds to win game 1 against a sting and top seeded Thunder. With 27 seconds in the regulation of Game 3 against Oklahoma City, his 3-pointer sent fourth seeded nuggets to overtime-one game which he won from 113–104.
The winner of Game 7 will benefit from the sixth seed Minnesota Timberwells in the final of the Western Conference, which starts on Tuesday.
Nagets Guard Jamal Murray (Disease) and Russell Westbrook (right hand sprain) are listed as potential.
