Coming off bench Gordon (calf) will play off the bench Friday against the Heat, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact After sitting out Wednesday's game against the Rockets in what was the second leg of a back-to-back set, Gordon will shake off a questionable tag to suit up Friday. He's not 100 percent yet, however, so the Nuggets will likely watch his minutes closely with the second unit.

Iffy for Friday Gordon (calf) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

Impact Gordon missed Wednesday's game against the Rockets, which resulted in a 20-point loss by the Nuggets at home. The veteran forward has only played in 16 games this season. If he doesn't play on Friday, Peyton Watson and Russell Westbrook may see more time on the floor for Denver.

Missing second half of B2B Gordon (injury management) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Gordon missed nine straight games due to a right calf injury but appeared in each of the Nuggets' previous two games, including Tuesday's win over Dallas. He'll get the night off Wednesday for rest purposes, leaving more opportunities for Russell Westbrook and Peyton Watson. Gordon should be good to go for Friday's game at Miami.

Iffy for Wednesday Gordon is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Houston due to right calf injury management.

Impact Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and there's a good chance the Nuggets hold Gordon out for rest purposes -- he's played in two consecutive games since returning from injury. If that happens, Russell Westbrook and Peyton Watson could absorb more minutes for the Nuggets.

Scores eight points Tuesday Gordon supplied eight points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 win over Dallas.

Impact Gordon came off the bench for the second game in a row, and he's played 18 minutes in both contests against Dallas, scoring 13 and eight points, respectively. Gordon should eventually return to a starting role when back at full fitness, though. The forward averages 13.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

Available Tuesday Gordon (calf) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

Impact Gordon will suit up in his second consecutive contest following a nine-game absence due to a strained right calf. The veteran forward posted 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes in his return during Sunday's win over Dallas, and it wouldn't be surprising if he remains with the second unit while the club works him back to full playing form.

Probable for Tuesday Gordon (calf) has been ruled probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Gordon returned from a nine game absence Sunday in limited fashion, but will likely ramp up his involvement Tuesday. While he did come off the bench in his previous game, Gordon will also likely return to the starting lineup in the coming days, whether it be Tuesday or another game in the future.

Thrives in limited minutes Sunday Gordon (calf) played 18 minutes off the bench and finished with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one block in Sunday's 112-101 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Though Gordon was cleared to play after missing the Nuggets' previous nine games with a right calf strain, head coach Michael Malone opted to bring the veteran forward off the bench for the first time all season. The bench role won't necessarily be a permanent one for Gordon, who will most likely move back into the starting five once he's no longer operating under any restrictions and is capable of handling a 30ish-minute role. In any case, Gordon performed well during his time on the court in his return, and he should see his playing time climb back over the 20-minute mark in the Nuggets' next game Tuesday in Dallas.

Won't start in return Sunday Gordon will come off the bench in Sunday's game against Dallas.

Impact Gordon will operate under a minutes restriction in his return from a nine-game absence due to a right calf strain. The Nuggets will likely work the veteran forward back to playing form slowly, meaning that Russell Westbrook will remain in the starting five for the time being.

Cleared to play Sunday Gordon (calf) will play under a minutes restriction in Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Gordon will snap a nine-game absence streak due to a right calf strain, though he'll likely be limited to around 20 minutes in his return. The veteran forward has appeared in only 17 regular-season outings due to calf injuries, and he has averaged 13.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 28.8 minutes per contest.

On track to return Sunday Gordon (calf), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, intends to play, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact Gordon is on track to snap a nine-game absence streak due to a right calf strain. The veteran forward will likely remain a game-time decision ahead of tipoff at 3:00 p.m. ET, though he expects to play barring any setbacks during warmups. Even if Gordon makes his return, it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction during his comeback. The 29-year-old has appeared in only 17 regular-season games thus far due to calf injuries, during which he has averaged 13.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 28.8 minutes per contest.

Questionable for Sunday Gordon (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact After missing the past nine games, Gordon is closing in on a possible return with his first questionable tag since the injury. He's been ramping up his activity at recent practices, and if his conditioning is up to par, the Nuggets could give him the green light to return. If Gordon is cleared, guys like Russell Westbrook and Peyton Watson could lose a bit of value.
