The Denver Nuggets have ruled out Aaron Gordon for Game 5 as he continues to deal with left hamstring tightness.
Gordon’s absence is a significant lineup development for Denver in a pivotal postseason game. The veteran forward has been a key part of the Nuggets’ frontcourt rotation, contributing with his physicality, defensive versatility and ability to play alongside Denver’s core pieces.
With Gordon unavailable, the Nuggets will have to adjust their rotation for Game 5. His status beyond this game was not included in the announcement.
