AARON GORDON NEWS

Upgraded to probable Gordon (heel) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact All five of Denver's starters popped up as questionable on the injury report Monday evening, but all of them have since been upgraded to probable. Barring a surprise, the Nuggets will have their usual lineup active Tuesday.

Listed as questionable Gordon is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to a right heel strain.

Impact Gordon has appeared in seven straight contests, averaging 15.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30.4 minutes per game. However, the Nuggets are listing their entire starting lineup as questionable, so they appear likely to rest at least a few key contributors.

Goes off for 30 points in win Gordon notched 30 points (11-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Thursday's 130-127 victory over the Warriors.

Impact This was Gordon's second appearance since returning from a two-game absence due to a dog bite, and the veteran forward put together arguably his best performance of the season. He fell one rebound short of a double-double and notched his first 30-point performance of the campaign -- prior to Thursday, his high mark had been a modest 21 points on two occasions. Gordon isn't likely to produce this level of scoring on a consistent basis, but he's been fairly reliable as a mid-level scorer with 11 straight contest of double-digit points.

Gets 25 minutes in return Gordon (face/hand) recorded 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one steal and one block across 25 minutes in Monday's 111-93 win over the Hornets.

Impact Gordon missed the Nuggets' previous two games after requiring 21 stitches to his face and right shooting hand due to lacerations suffered from a family dog on Christmas Day. The Nuggets initially weren't willing to put a timeline on the 28-year-old's return to the court after he suffered the injuries, but he ended up healing quicker than anticipated and was back in the starting five Monday while Peyton Watson moved to the bench. Gordon's playing time was a bit suppressed in his return, but that was a byproduct of the blowout more than anything else; none of the Nuggets' other four starters played more than 31 minutes.

Available for Monday Gordon (face) has been cleared to play Monday against Charlotte.

Impact As expected, Gordon has been given the green light to return for Monday's contest. He figures to slot right back into the starting lineup following a two-game absence.

In line to play Gordon (face) is expected to play Monday against the Hornets, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Gordon is still listed as questionable on the team's injury report after requiring 21 stitches from a dog bite, but head coach Karl Malone's latest update indicates the Arizona product is trending in the right direction. Peyton Watson would presumably retreat to the bench once the team confirms Gordon's availability closer to tipoff.

Officially questionable Gordon (face/hand) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte.

Impact This comes straight from Denver's official injury report, but it's worth noting that Gordon said Sunday afternoon that he's ready to play. Gordon needed 21 stitches after a dog bite on Christmas Day, but he returned to full practice Sunday and is expected to take the floor against the Hornets. If he does return, Peyton Watson will likely head back to the second unit.

Practices, ready to play Gordon (face/hand) practiced Sunday and said he feels ready to play in Monday's game against the Hornets, Bennett Durando of the Denver Post reports.

Impact Gordon needed 21 stitches after an incident on Christmas Day involving a dog, and it was unclear when he'd be able to return. Per Durando, it'll be Gordon's final call on when he'll suit up again, but his status for Monday's game likely won't be known until Denver releases its injury report Sunday night.

No timetable for return Gordon (face/hand) required 21 stitches to address his lacerations and doesn't have a timetable to return, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gordon suffered serious dog bites to his face and right hand on Christmas Day and is away from the team while he recovers. While it's not yet clear when he'll be in the mix to return to game action, it at least seems likely that he'll be sidelined for the Nuggets' upcoming back-to-back set Thursday against the Grizzlies and Friday against the Thunder. Peyton Watson, Michael Porter and Julian Strawther could see increased run in Gordon's absence.

Away from team following dog bite Gordon sustained lacerations to his face and hand after being bitten by a dog Monday and is in good condition but away from the team, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Gordon had been dealing with a heel injury recently but was able to play through the issue over the past few weeks. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss time due to the lacerations he sustained on Christmas Day. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss at least a few games. If he's unavailable for Thursday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Peyton Watson, Michael Porter and Braxton Key are candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

Good to go Monday Gordon (heel) will play in Monday's game against the Warriors, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Probable tags have been par for the course for Gordon, but he'll play in his 12th straight game Monday. With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back) also good to go, the Nuggets will have their full rotation for this Christmas game.
