Will play Tuesday Gordon (ribs) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Rockets, Vic Lombardi of Altitude TV reports.
Listed as probable Gordon (ribs) is probable for Tuesday's game versus the Rockets.
Impact Gordon returned to action Sunday following a five-game absence due to a rib contusion, but he struggled with his shot across 29 minutes before fouling out. It looks like veteran forward will play through the injury again, but fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his effectiveness until he fully clears the injury report.

Struggles in return Gordon recorded six points (3-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), six rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 134-124 overtime victory over the Clippers.
Impact Gordon returned to action following a five-game absence due to a rib contusion, but he struggled with his shot and appeared a step slow as he fouled out. The versatile forward is averaging 17.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 30.2 minutes, so it's safe to chalk Sunday's poor performance up to rust.

Available Sunday Gordon (ribs) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Gordon was trending in the right direction Sunday afternoon, as he was listed as out for the matchup against the Clippers before being upgraded twice, first moved to questionable before being deemed probable. He'll likely reclaim his starting role following his five-game absence while Vlatko Cancar retreats to the bench, but it's also possible Gordon faces some sort of minutes restriction.

Impact Gordon was initially ruled out for a sixth consecutive game due to his left rib contusion, but his status was upgraded a few hours before tipoff. Since the 27-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since Feb. 9, it's possible he faces a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play Sunday.

Impact Gordon will miss a sixth straight game due to a left rib contusion. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Houston. Vlatko Cancar figures to remain in the starting lineup until Gordon is cleared to return, while Jeff Green should continue to garner an increased role off the bench.

Still out Thursday Gordon (ribs) will not play Thursday at Cleveland.

Out Wednesday Gordon (ribs) will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Mark Followill of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
Impact This will be Gordon's third straight game on the shelf, but now he'll get more than a week off to rest up before Denver's next game on February 23 in Cleveland. Vlatko Cancar should be looking at another start on Wednesday night, and he has some low-end appeal in deep leagues with averages of 10.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 three-pointers through five starts this season.

Iffy for Wednesday Gordon (ribs) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Dallas.
Impact Gordon has missed back-to-back games since suffering a rib injury during last Thursday's loss to Orlando and may be sidelined for a third straight heading into the All-Star break. If that's the case, Vlatko Cancar would presumably draw another start at power forward.

Impact Gordon continues to deal with a left rib contusion and will be sidelined for a second consecutive game. His final chance to suit up before the All-Star break will be Wednesday against Dallas, but Jeff Green and Vlatko Cancar should continue to see increased run Monday.

Impact The rib issue forced Gordon to the sidelines for Saturday's game against the worst team out East, Charlotte, but there's a chance he could return to the floor for Monday's game. If he is able to get back out there, Vlatko Cancar would likely head back to the second unit. Check back for another update closer to Monday's tip-off.

Not playing Saturday Gordon (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
Impact Gordon posted a season-high 37 points to go along with 13 rebounds across 38 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Magic, but the ribs issue that has been affecting him of late will cause him to sit out in this one. This means more minutes will be available for players such as Jeff Green and Vlatko Cancar, while Gordon's next chance to play will come Monday at Miami.

Questionable Saturday Gordon is questionable for Saturday's game against Charlotte due to a left rib contusion.
Impact Gordon posted a season-high 37 points in addition to 13 rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 38 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Magic, but he's dealing with a rib issue ahead of Saturday's matchup. If he's sidelined against the Hornets, Jeff Green and Vlatko Cancar are candidates to see increased playing time.

It was only Gordon's second time breaking the 30-point mark this season and he's now shot above 70 percent from the floor in three straight.

Impact Gordon had sat out two of the Nuggets' previous three games with an ankle issue, but his absence for Sunday's loss to Minnesota was likely more a byproduct of Denver playing the second game of a back-to-back set. The 27-year-old forward was back in action for Tuesday's rematch with the Timberwolves and looked plenty healthy, despite playing fewer minutes than usual while Denver took a 35-point lead into the final quarter. The four steals and eight assists both matched season highs for Gordon.
