Questionable for Friday
Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Knicks.
Analysis
Sam Amick of The Athletic reported Wednesday that Gordon was looking to make his return Friday, so he feels closer to probable than questionable. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Gordon's status closer to tipoff, but if he is able to get back out there, there will be less opportunity for Zeke Nnaji, Cameron Johnson and Julian Strawther.

Eyeing return Friday
Gordon (hamstring) is targeting a return to the Nuggets lineup Friday against the Knicks, Sam Amick of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Gordon has been sidelined for Denver's last 16 games after aggravating a right hamstring injury Jan. 23, and while playing in Thursday's game against the Lakers appears to be off the table, the veteran forward may have a shot at being available for the second leg of a back-to-back set. After such a lengthy layoff due to the hamstring injury, Gordon will likely face a strict minutes restriction in his first game back in action and could be brought off the bench.

Remains out Monday
Gordon (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis
Gordon will be sidelined for a 16h straight game due to a right hamstring strain, though head coach David Adelman hinted last Tuesday that the veteran forward could be closing in on a return. The Nuggets will play their 62nd game of the season Monday, and Adelman told Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com that he's hoping that the team can get fully healthy with around 20 games to go. According to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post, Adelman also said last Tuesday that Gordon was doing "basically everything but contact stuff" in practice, but it's unclear how much the veteran forward has progressed since then. Expect the Nuggets to provide another update on Gordon's status leading up to their Thursday/Friday back-to-back set versus the Lakers and Knicks, respectively.

Out for Sunday
Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Gordon will miss a 15th consecutive contest as he continues to recover from a right hamstring strain. While Friday was initially targeted as the earliest possible return date for the veteran forward, the team has yet to provide an updated timeline after announcing Jan. 29 that he would be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks.
