Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Scores season-high 38 points

Gordon ended with 38 points (14-23 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 114-105 win over the Warriors.

Gordon took over at center due to Nikola Jokic (elbow) being sidelined and led the way for the shorthanded Nuggets. Gordon's 38-point total was his best of the season by a wide margin, and he was successful in absorbing Jokic's lost production. Gordon's 2024-25 campaign has been marred by injuries, appearing in only 40 games. Monday's effort is an encouraging sign for Gordon, who's missed six of the team's last 10 games.
