The Nuggets had Aaron Gordon for all of four minutes in Monday night’s win over the Toronto Raptors before he left with a right calf strain.
They’ll have to get used to not having him in the rotation even longer.
Denver’s starting power forward is expected to miss multiple weeks due to the injury, a league source told The Denver Post, confirming a report from ESPN’s Shams Charania. What exactly that means for the starting lineup going forward is unclear, but with Jamal Murray also expected to miss his third game due to a concussion Wednesday, the Nuggets will likely have multiple bench players forced into increased minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
