Aaron Gordon’s return to the Denver Nuggets lineup could come as soon as Sunday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, as the forward has been upgraded to questionable.
This marks a potential boost for the Nuggets, who have been without Gordon since their Christmas night matchup against the Phoenix Suns.
Gordon, who has been dealing with a persistent calf injury, has missed 20 of Denver’s 37 games so far this season. His absence has been felt, as he provides crucial scoring, defense, and versatility to the Nuggets’ frontcourt.
The Nuggets’ injury report also includes guard Jamal Murray, who is dealing with knee soreness.
Murray was forced to leave Denver’s game on Friday early due to discomfort in his left knee, and as a result, he is now listed with left knee inflammation, making him questionable for Sunday’s game as well.
The guard’s status is crucial for the Nuggets’ offensive flow, as he has been an essential part of their backcourt alongside big man Nikola Jokic.
With both Gordon and Murray uncertain for Sunday’s contest, Denver’s depth and adaptability will be tested against a tough Dallas team.
