Aaron Gordon Returns from Hamstring Injury with Minutes Restriction

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon is set to play in Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets, returning from a right hamstring strain that sidelined him since November 21. He will be under minutes restrictions and may skip Monday's game in Philadelphia. His return brings needed depth, especially with Nikola Jokic out, and may reduce minutes for Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones. Gordon was averaging 18.8 points and 5.9 rebounds prior to his injury for the Denver Nuggets.
