Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, Russell Westbrook on Denver Nuggets’ injury report for Game 7
David Zalubowski
So, the injury report is saying there’s a chance.
After suffering a strained left hamstring late in Thursday’s Game 6, Aaron Gordon is officially listed as questionable for the Nuggets’ Game 7 on Sunday in Oklahoma City. Gordon is dealing with a Grade 2 strain and needs multiple weeks to recover, according to an ESPN report Sunday morning. Nuggets interim coach David Adelman said Saturday Gordon has a chance to play, but he’s not the only rotation player on Denver’s injury report.
Nuggets have a plan if Aaron Gordon misses Game 7 due to hamstring injury
Jamal Murray, who played through an illness Thursday, is probable for Sunday’s game with the same sickness. Russell Westbrook also popped up on the report. The veteran guard is also probable due to a right hand sprain. After missing the last couple of games with an ankle sprain, Hunter Tyson has been upgraded to questionable.
