Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Missing at least next two games

Head coach Mike Malone said Friday that Gordon will be sidelined for the "next couple of games" due to a right calf strain, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Gordon strained his right calf during Denver's Christmas Day loss to Phoenix. It appears he'll miss the Nuggets' next two home games and could aim to return Monday against the Jazz. Russell Westbrook will enter the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to Gordon's injury, and Peyton Watson should see a slight uptick in playing time off the bench.
