Denver Nuggets player Aaron Gordon will be sidelined indefinitely due to dog bites on Christmas Day. The incident left the power forward with injuries to his face and right hand, the latter needing 21 stitches, according to journalist Shams Charania. Although he is in good condition, the player will remain away from the team while he recovers.
Gordon, who was a key part of the Nuggets’ victory over the Golden State Warriors on December 25, has averaged 13.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season. The news represents a major setback for the Denver team, which is in second place in the Western Conference with a record of 22-10, closely following the leaders Minnesota Timberwolves.
Since arriving in Denver in 2020, Gordon has become a key player under Michael Malone, contributing significantly to the team’s collective success. The current situation raises uncertainty about when he will return to the field, and the player’s absence could affect the performance of the current runners-up in the short term. Despite the positive results, the Nuggets are still looking to recover the level that led them to lift the NBA title last June.
