Aaron Gordon's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to Kathy Winge of AltitudeTV, Denver Nuggets forwardAaron Gordon's (calf) status for Friday's game with the Dallas Mavericks is still to be determined. Gordon hopes to return after suffering a right-calf strain after missing multiple weeks of action. The 29-year-old's potential return could be a big boost for fantasy managers, as he averaged 15.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 0.7 steals in 30.3 minutes per game over his first seven outings.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) was only able to play a few minutes before exiting Monday's game due to injury. At first, the Nuggets didn't believe it was a serious issue and considered him day-to-day. That is not the case as Gordon has suffered a right calf strain and will miss multiple weeks of action. This is a tough break as Gordon who has been excellent through the first handful of games. The absence of Gordon means that Peyton Watson should see more involvement in the rotation. He finished with 16 points, two steals, and two blocks over 30 minutes of action on Monday. He'll be a decent streaming choice until Gordon gets back on the court.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is not dealing with a long-term injury. Gordon played only four minutes in Monday's matchup against Toronto, exiting the action with a calf strain. He already carried a questionable tag ahead of the game due to a calf problem, and he has also been battling a knee injury. According to Nuggets head coach Michael Malone, Gordon is dealing with "bumps and bruises," and he doesn't think the 29-year-old forward will be a long-term absentee. With Gordon out, Peyton Watson surpassed the 30-minute mark for the first time this season on Monday. He could play a bigger role again in Wednesday's matchup against Oklahoma City, assuming Gordon is not in the lineup.
