The team announced that Aaron Gordon left the game in the first quarter due to right calf tightness, he didn't return to the game.

Gordon has been dealing with calf problems for some time now. Calf injuries kept him out of the rotation for almost the entire month of November and forced him to miss some more time at the start of January.

This season, Gordon has played 38 games for Denver, averaging 13.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. As one of the Nuggets’ most important rotation players in recent years, the team will likely prioritize getting him fully healthy before the postseason.
