Aaron Gordon reinjures hamstring

[ASFN Admin]

Missing most of the same players who sat out that overtime upset of the 76ers earlier this month, Denver pulled off another short-handed heist Friday with a 102-100 win over the Bucks. Six rotation players were out at opening tip. Seven were sidelined by the final buzzer. Aaron Gordon reinjured his right hamstring late in the first half, the latest blow to a Nuggets team that has been inching closer to full health. Gordon was the only regular starter who suited up for the second game of a back-to-back after a win Thursday in Washington. He reached for his right hamstring while bringing the ball up the floor near the end of the half. A team spokesperson said he suffered a hamstring strain and was questionable to return coming out of the break. He was ruled out officially after the third quarter. “I feel for him,” coach David Adelman said. “He’s optimistic it’s not as bad as it was, the last one. But we won’t know until we get it actually tested.”
