Aaron Gordon Should Be Available Tuesday
5 months agoDenver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (heel) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Gordon's right heel strain hasn't kept him off the court since a four-game absence from Nov. 26 through Dec. 1, but his status on Denver's injury report is worth noting because Tuesday is the second end of a back-to-back. The versatile playmaker got off to a nice start in 2023-24, but Gordon has mostly labored as a fantasy liability over the last few weeks due to poor play and limited appearances. Averaging 9.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in five games since Nov. 24, Gordon is shooting only 40.8% from the field during this span. He'll hope that Monday's 18-point, 12-board double-double against the Atlanta Hawks gets him back on track and sparks a run of greater consistency, however, and Gordon could be staring at an expanded workload if Jamal Murray (ankle) can't go on Tuesday due to multiple ankle sprains.
