Aaron Gordon’s 30s aren’t treating him well so far.
His legs can’t seem to catch a break. The Nuggets do-it-all power forward will miss extended time again after reinjuring his right hamstring last Friday. His progress be evaluated in four to six weeks, a team source told The Denver Post, confirming a report by ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Gordon has already missed 24 of Denver’s first 47 games this season, including a stretch of 19 straight from mid-November through early January. The initial hamstring strain occurred Nov. 21 in Houston.
Denver brought Gordon back on a minutes restriction earlier this month and even played him off the bench for a handful of games. He reaggravated the injury while playing the second night of a back-to-back after logging 33 minutes the previous night. The Nuggets were sitting most of their usual rotation in Milwaukee, where Gordon pulled up spontaneously and reached for his hamstring late in the first half. He was the exception.
Nuggets coach David Adelman said after the game that “nobody made a mistake” by allowing Gordon to play that night.

These injuries, they can come back any time. Aaron’s had different ones that are similar, the soft tissue stuff.”
