Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon could miss Denver’s Game 7 game against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a hamstring injury, ESPN reported Friday night.
A breakout performer in this year’s playoffs, Gordon has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain, putting his status in doubt for Sunday’s game at Oklahoma City.
The 11-year pro and member of Denver’s 2023 NBA championship team, Gordon exited the fourth quarter of Game 6 in Denver on Thursday night holding his hamstring. Gordon finished his evening with five points, seven rebounds and seven assists.
Gordon, 29, is averaging career playoff highs in points (16.8) and rebounds (7.3) and has made several clutch plays this postseason, including Game 1’s game-winning 3-pointer against the Thunder (a 121-119 win).
“He is the soul of our team,” Nuggets interim coach David Adelman said following Game 1.
