Pumped to see Aaron Gordon back at Nuggets practice. His teammates have always barked for his success – they did it to welcome him back today and DeAndre Jordan goes “we can still do that right??” pic.twitter.com/jenqRmISSW

Gordon looked fine in practice on Sunday, according to coach Michael Malone, “but we’ll see how he’s feeling tomorrow with the hand.”
Gordon said that his four-year-old dog, which he acquired when he was six weeks old, had been in the care of family members due to the travel demands of the NBA schedule, and that he was playing with his dog after the Nuggets’ win against the Warriors on Christmas Day when he was attacked.
Gordon said that he had “probably had a little too much eggnog” and that he’d been “kind of roughhousing with my dog and I think my dog got a little excited and just basically chomped down.”
