The Denver Nuggets may be without Aaron Gordon on Sunday afternoon.
Gordon was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain on Friday, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. It’s unclear how severe the injury is or whether Gordon will be able to play in their Game 7 matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Gordon has been great throughout the playoffs for the Nuggets. The 29-year-old has averaged 14.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in their series with the Thunder, and he’s hit a game-winning 3-pointer to stun the Thunder in Game 1.
But in Game 6 on Thursday night, Gordon tweaked his hamstring in the fourth quarter. He had to scramble to try and pick up a loose ball after he accidentally bounced it off his foot, and he was seen limping a bit once he came back up.
Gordon remained in the game briefly, but was subbed out. He finished with five points, seven rebounds and seven assists in the 119-107 win at Ball Arena, which forced a Game 7.
