Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Gordon is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to right hamstring injury management.
With Wednesday being the second leg of Denver's back-to-back set, the team is considering holding Gordon out of action for maintenance purposes. Peyton Watson (hamstring) is also a question mark to play versus Dallas, so both Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown could be in line for an expanded role.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Goes for 16 points in narrow win
Rotowire
Gordon provided 16 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-10 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 victory over the Suns.
The Nuggets are still playing it safe with Gordon, who has seen 30-plus minutes only once since returning from a lengthy absence. His status for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks is up in the air, as he's missed a game during every back-to-back set post-injury.

Rotowire
Gordon ended Sunday's 128-112 win over the Trail Blazers with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes.
Gordon is still ramping back up to 100 percent and is starting to find his groove again. Over his last six games, he's shooting 50.0 percent from the field with averages of 15.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Gordon sat out Wednesday's loss to Memphis -- the second half of a back-to-back set -- due to right hamstring injury management. However, the veteran forward is set to rejoin the lineup Friday. Spencer Jones should retreat to the second unit with Gordon back in action, though the former will likely still see meaningful playing time in the absence of Peyton Watson (hamstring).

Rotowire
Gordon is listed out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to right hamstring injury management.
Gordon will rest up for the second leg of a back-to-back set after posting 12 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Tuesday's blowout win over the 76ers. Presumably, Gordon will be back in action Friday against Toronto.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Scores team-high 27 points
Rotowire
Gordon amassed 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Lakers.
Gordon couldn't have asked for a better return to the lineup after sitting out the win over the Spurs on Thursday due to injury management. The veteran forward led the team in scoring and stepped up offensively in a game where Jamal Murray struggled badly on offense (1-14 FG). Gordon has scored at least 23 points in two of his four appearances since coming back from a 17-game absence due to a hamstring problem. The Nuggets are expected to monitor Gordon's workload closely, so it wouldn't be surprising if he pops up on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Will play Saturday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Gordon sat out Thursday's game against the Spurs while managing a right hamstring injury, and he has been given the green light to play in Saturday's road tilt. He's been inconsistent since returning from a 17-game absence due to his lingering hamstring injury, but he has been a key piece for the Nuggets since he was acquired from the Magic in March 2021. Gordon should find his consistency as he gets more games under his belt over the final weeks of the regular season.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
The Nuggets are thinking about holding Gordon out for hamstring injury management during the second half of their back-to-back. A potential absence for Gordon would vacate some playing time for the likes of Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Cameron Johnson.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Double-double in defeat
Rotowire
Gordon supplied 23 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 129-126 loss to the Thunder.
After a lackluster return Friday following a lengthy absence due to a right hamstring strain, Gordon was more productive in Monday's loss, converting often at the charity stripe and recording a double-double. It marked the forward's fourth double-double of this injury-riddled campaign and his first with points and rebounds since Nov. 17. Gordon's health and productivity moving forward will be a key storyline to monitor for the Nuggets down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Poor production in return
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) recorded three points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes in Friday's 142-103 loss to the Knicks.
Returning to action Friday for the first time since Jan. 23 after completing his recovery from his second right hamstring strain of the season, Gordon displayed some rust, as expected. Despite coming up empty from downtown, the 12th-year forward is still shooting 38.9 percent from three-point range on the season, showing that his big jump in efficiency from beyond the arc in 2024-25 (career-high 43.6 percent on 3.4 attempts per game) wasn't a complete outlier. Given his long-term absence, Gordon's production may lag for a few games coming off the hamstring injury, but he should re-emerge as a solid back-end roster option in most 12-team leagues once he's back to playing upper-20s/lower-30s minutes on a regular basis.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Available to play
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks.
This will be Gordon's first game back since aggravating his hamstring injury Jan. 23, so he'll likely have some heavy minutes restrictions. His return should result in less playing time for Zeke Nnaji and Julian Strawther.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Knicks.
Sam Amick of The Athletic reported Wednesday that Gordon was looking to make his return Friday, so he feels closer to probable than questionable. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Gordon's status closer to tipoff, but if he is able to get back out there, there will be less opportunity for Zeke Nnaji, Cameron Johnson and Julian Strawther.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Eyeing return Friday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) is targeting a return to the Nuggets lineup Friday against the Knicks, Sam Amick of The Athletic reports.
Gordon has been sidelined for Denver's last 16 games after aggravating a right hamstring injury Jan. 23, and while playing in Thursday's game against the Lakers appears to be off the table, the veteran forward may have a shot at being available for the second leg of a back-to-back set. After such a lengthy layoff due to the hamstring injury, Gordon will likely face a strict minutes restriction in his first game back in action and could be brought off the bench.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Remains out Monday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Gordon will be sidelined for a 16h straight game due to a right hamstring strain, though head coach David Adelman hinted last Tuesday that the veteran forward could be closing in on a return. The Nuggets will play their 62nd game of the season Monday, and Adelman told Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com that he's hoping that the team can get fully healthy with around 20 games to go. According to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post, Adelman also said last Tuesday that Gordon was doing "basically everything but contact stuff" in practice, but it's unclear how much the veteran forward has progressed since then. Expect the Nuggets to provide another update on Gordon's status leading up to their Thursday/Friday back-to-back set versus the Lakers and Knicks, respectively.

Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Gordon will miss a 15th consecutive contest as he continues to recover from a right hamstring strain. While Friday was initially targeted as the earliest possible return date for the veteran forward, the team has yet to provide an updated timeline after announcing Jan. 29 that he would be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Out 4-to-6 weeks
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Thursday.
This is a brutal blow for Denver and for Gordon's fantasy managers. If he's re-evaluated at the front end of this timetable, a return against the Thunder on Feb. 27 would be the best-case scenario. In Gordon's absence, Peyton Watson will likely take on a larger role, and Spencer Jones and Bruce Brown could see more run as well.
