Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Gordon has played in the Nugget's last two games despite being listed still on the injury report for right calf injury management and a sprained left ankle. If the 29-year-old can suit up, he will likely start at the center as Nikola Jokic (ankle), who is still sidelined with an ankle issue. He could also factor in fantasy this evening with the extra minutes available after finishing with 26 points, 11 rebounds, and one steal across 30 minutes in a 120-108 loss to the Lakers during his last outing on Wednesday.
Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's tilt against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ahead of tip-off, the team has upgraded Gordon's status from probable to available. He should be heavily involved in the contest, considering that Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) and Jamal Murray (ankle) will remain sidelined for a second consecutive game. When the star duo sat out Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors, Gordon exploded for a season-high 38 points on 14-for-23 shooting.
Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) is ready to rejoin the action on Monday against the Golden State Warriors. He has been cleared to return after sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. With Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle), Jamal Murray (ankle), and Christian Braun (foot) out, Gordon is expected to handle a much heavier offensive workload than usual. He has been extremely efficient since the All-Star break, averaging 17.9 points per game with 56.1 percent shooting.
Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) may remain out for a second consecutive game on Monday against the Golden State Warriors after the team listed him as questionable for the contest. Gordon has been bothered by a calf injury all year and is now also dealing with a left ankle sprain. With him out on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, Russell Westbrook returned to the starting lineup. Peyton Watson, Zeke Nnaji, and Christian Braun (foot) also gain fantasy value with Gordon out of the lineup. The latter remains on the injury report but is listed as probable, which suggests that Braun will likely be available Monday night.

It sounds like the Nuggets are going to play it safe here and rest Gordon in the second leg of the back-to-back set.

He has been dealing with a calf injury throughout the campaign and missed the first two games of the week. Russell Westbrook will likely return to the bench with Gordon back in the fold.

Gordon has missed the last two games and sat out five of the last seven contests. The absence of Gordon has given Peyton Watson, Russell Westbrook, and Zeke Nnaji more playing time in the rotation. Westbrook has taken advantage of it with a handful of solid fantasy performances over the last few games. He would once again be a popular fantasy option if Gordon is unable to play on Friday. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Friday for another update.

Gordon was listed as doubtful on the initial injury report, so it was always unlikely that he would be in the lineup. Russell Westbrook looks set for another start on Wednesday, while Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji will fill the frontcourt minutes that are left over from Gordon's absence.
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Gordon is in line to miss his second straight game after suffering both a calf and ankle injury. These issues kept Gordon sidelined on Monday and it'll likely hold him out for at least one more game. The absence of Gordon should mean increased playing time for Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji in the rotation. Neither player is offering great fantasy value right now, but Watson should be able to hold some low-end streaming value.
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gordon experienced calf tightness in Sunday's contest against the Thunder. He finished with five points and two rebounds but exited the game after only seven minutes on the floor. The 29-year-old has had multiple stints on the shelf because of the calf injury this season, so nobody will be surprised if he misses more time moving forward. With Gordon sidelined, Russell Westbrook will likely slide into the starting lineup. The 2016-17 MVP has averaged 12.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.1 assists in 27.6 minutes per contest across 57 games this season.
