Sports is a rough business, with players putting their bodies on the line every time they suit up. Injuries are inevitable just from the mere act of participating in the game. But sometimes, players have to miss time for the most peculiar reasons.

That's what Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon is experiencing right now, as he needed 21 stitches after suffering lacerations to his face and right shooting hand while being bitten by a family dog on Christmas. Gordon's absence is expected to be short, but it's still a scary experience for anyone, and it's good that he's on the mend.
