Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon to play with hamstring strain in Game 7 vs. Thunder
Gordon suffered a left hamstring strain late in Game 6 of the second-round playoff series between the Nuggets and Thunder.
OKLAHOMA CITY — By the end of the routine, Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon was smiling.
It started gingerly. But Gordon made shots. He tried putting weight on his injured left leg, pivoting on it. Slowly, he appeared more comfortable in his motions.
Gordon will attempt to play through a left hamstring strain in Game 7 of Denver’s second-round playoff series against the against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the team announced Sunday.
The decision was officially made about 30 minutes before tip, but sources told The Denver Post that Gordon went into his usual pregame routine planning to at least start the game and test the injury. He suffered a left hamstring strain late in Game 6 of the series on Thursday.
“He’s trying to play,” interim coach David Adelman said. “Obviously he is injured. But he’s gonna go through the process, see if he can give us something. If he can’t go or if he goes and he can’t continue, we have plenty of guys who can step up, That’s what these things are about. … If Aaron can go, he’ll go. That’s who he is. There’s a real toughness there.”
Gordon has averaged 14.5 points and 9.2 points per game through the first six games, shooting 45% from 3-point range with a game-winner.
He participated in the team’s walk-through for the winner-take-all game on Saturday in Denver, but the severity of his strain had himself and the team questioning his ability to contribute significantly, if he could play at all. The full recovery process is expected to take multiple weeks.
The decision to play or not is made collectively between Gordon and the team’s medical staff, Adelman said.
