Nuggets dealt major blow as Aaron Gordon sidelined with hamstring strain

Denver Nuggets
November 2025

Denver forward Aaron Gordon has been ruled out indefinitely with a strained right hamstring and will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks, depriving the Nuggets of another starter after guard Christian Braun recently sprained his ankle and joined the injury list. Coach David Adelman said Gordon is still weighing treatment options, with Denver leaning on Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones in his absence, a significant blow given Gordon’s 18.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game and his importance alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
