Won't go in regular-season finale
Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis
Gordon will miss a second straight game due to right hamstring injury management, though he should be good to go for the start of the postseason. He'll finish the 2025-26 regular season with averages of 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 27.9 minutes per game in 36 appearances (33 starts). David Roddy and Julian Strawther will likely see increased playing time in Gordon's absence Sunday.

Ruled out Friday
Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.
Analysis
Along with the rest of Denver's usual starters, Gordon will be held out of Friday's contest. His next opportunity to play will come during Sunday's regular-season finale in San Antonio. With the veteran forward sidelined, Zeke Nnaji and Julian Strawther should see increased playing time, while David Roddy could enter the rotation.

Iffy for Friday
Gordon is questionable for Friday's game versus Oklahoma City due to right hamstring injury management.
Analysis
The Nuggets are deciding whether to hold Gordon out Friday for maintenance reasons. Depending upon who's available for Denver, Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown could be thrust into very significant roles against the Thunder.

Solid with 23 points in OT win
Gordon contributed 23 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 137-132 overtime win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
Gordon's playing time appears to be back on track. After logging 41 minutes against the Spurs on Saturday, he delivered a 31-minute effort during Monday's OT win over Portland. He was one rebound shy of his fourth double-double of the season and played a significant role in erasing Denver's deficit in the fourth quarter. Gordon's nine boards matched his second-highest total of the season in the category.
