“He’s taking a chance every time he explodes and jumps,” Adelman said before the Nuggets tipped off their second-round series against the Thunder. “We know what he’s doing for our team. We know that there’s a risk there.” He’s referring to Gordon’s right calf, which caused him to miss 31 games this season and come off the bench in nine others. After straining it last November and sitting out for an initial 10-game window, the injury has lingered all season, including a re-strain in December. Often, he has played through pain and soreness, including throughout the playoffs so far. -via Denver Post / May 6, 2025
