Aaron Gordon injury: Will Nuggets star play Game 3 vs. Timberwolves?

The Denver Nuggets are facing an injury issue to one of their key players.

Power forward Aaron Gordon, a versatile playmaker and defender, appeared on the injury report with left calf tightness.

It’s yet another injury Gordon is having to contend with this season, after he sat most of the year with hamstring and calf issues. Either way, Gordon is a crucial part of Denver’s offense, as a ball-handling big who can create for others, as a spot-up 3-point shooter, and as a lob threat from the dunker’s spot.

Gordon is also a steady defensive presence down low who offers some rim protection capability. Against an aggressive Timberwolves team that likes to drive the ball and get to the paint with Anthony Edwards, any Gordon absence would come as a blow to the Nuggets, who lost Game 2 on Monday, April 20, leaving the series tied at one game apiece.
