Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Won't play against San Antonio
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Questionable Wednesday
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Gordon is coming off an impressive performance in Tuesday's heartbreaking loss to the Timberwolves, finishing with 30 points, eight rebounds, five assists and one block. However, he's in danger of missing the second game of a back-to-back against the visiting Spurs while continuing to manage a right calf issue. If the veteran big man cannot play against San Antonio, Denver will likely turn to Peyton Watson (knee), Vlatko Cancar and Zeke Nnaji to pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Puts up 30 points in OT loss
Rotowire
Gordon totaled 30 points (9-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block across 47 minutes during Tuesday's 140-139 double-overtime loss to the Timberwolves.
Although Nikola Jokic stole the headlines with a record-setting triple-double, Gordon was able to take advantage of the extra time amid Michael Porter's (personal) absence. Gordon bounced back after two poor outings, and the lingering calf injury that had hampered his play was a non-issue. He logged 47 minutes in the double-overtime loss, and since the team has a back-to-back against a weak opponent, it wouldn't be surprising to see a minute limitation for Gordon against the Spurs.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Questionable to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Gordon is dealing with a left ankle sprain while also managing a right calf injury, and the combination of both injuries sidelined him for Monday's matchup against Chicago. The questionable tag suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to Wednesday's 9 p.m. ET tipoff. Still, if he can't go, the Nuggets would be extremely depleted in the frontcourt since Nikola Jokic (ankle) is doubtful. Peyton Watson, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji are all candidates to take on additional minutes in the frontcourt if Gordon ends up being ruled out.
