Fans of Denver Nuggets can expire for the moment after Nikola Jokic and Co. won a 119-107 victory against OKC Thunder to stay alive and force a match 7, but the health of Aaron Gordon could be a real concern by heading for the match to do or to do, especially given the clutch that he was the whole session.
At the end of the match 6 of Thursday, Gordon lost the ball and, while diving alongside Alex Caruso, seemed to plant awkwardly before immediately tightening his left hamstrings.

In his post-match remarks, Nuggets coach David Adelman did not offer final update, but clearly said that the injury is worrying.
“At this point, I have no idea,” he said. “It’s really good to have two days off (but the level of concern would be high, of course.”
Match 7 is scheduled for Sunday in OKC, the winner continued to fight the Minnesota Timberwolves in the western conference finals.
Aaron Gordon played a central role for the Nuggets in this playoff series, already offering two match winners – including the dagger in match 1 of this series. He also buried a 3 clutch in match 3 which helped pushing the Nuggets to a prolongation victory.
Although he scored only five points in match 6, Gordon still completed the statistics sheet with seven assists, seven rebounds and a team of more than 17 teams in 38 minutes of play.
How did Aaron Gordon succeed in match 7?
Aaron Gordon played in two games 7, both in a single calendar year.
The first arrived last year in the semi-finals of the West Conference against the Minnesota Timberwolves in May 2024. He finished with four points, four rebounds and two assists in 42 minutes, pulling only 2 out of 5.
He bought this screening in a match 7 in the first round of this year against the Clippers, where he posted 22 points, five assists and four rebounds on 9 shots out of 16 to help raise the Nuggets in their series with OKC.
With the future of the equilibrium team, Gordon’s availability is looming for Nuggets. Jamal Murray was a decision of play on Thursday due to the disease, but adapted and delivered a solid performance.
