When news broke that player Aaron Gordon had cut his face and right hand from a dog bite, the Denver Nuggets community was taken aback. Fortunately for Gordon and the Nuggets supporters, things are going in the right direction.
Gordon is prepared to return to action when the Charlotte Hornets visit on New Year’s Day. Furthermore, according to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post, it was alleged that the dog in question was, in fact, his own Rottweiler. Because of the NBA season’s travel requirements, Gordon’s father typically looks after the dog.
Gordon stood up for his dog in spite of his wounds.
“That boy is good.” “He’s a good dog,” declared the forward.
The significance of Gordon to the Nuggets
Gordon is still a vital component for Denver. With season averages of 13.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game thus far, the elusive veteran powerhouse gives the Nuggets a potent interior presence.
Gordon, 28, is a valuable asset to the reigning champions in addition to his defensive and physical contributions. He excels while playing off the ball alongside players like Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic.
Gordon is typically seen as one of the primary beneficiaries of Jokic’s assists offensively. The former Arizona Wildcat thrives best when he’s driving the ball aggressively to the basket, despite his ability to cut and finish strong around the basket.
Gordon is also able to post when required. The forward made a career of backing down Miami Heat defenders in Game 1 of the NBA Finals last season, showcasing his ability to use his size and strength down the block.
With a 23-11 record, the Nuggets are presently third in the Western Conference. The club is almost at full strength as they attempt to recover from a defeat in their last game, with Aaron Gordon making a comeback to the starting lineup.
