Is Aaron Gordon playing tonight? Nuggets vs. Timberwolves Game 4 injury report

The Denver Nuggets could be without a key starter as Aaron Gordon is listed as questionable for Game 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.

Denver released its latest injury report Saturday morning, listing Gordon with left calf tightness ahead of the 5:30 p.m. PT tipoff on ABC. The game presents a must-win scenario for the Nuggets, who trail the first-round series 2-1 following a 113-96 loss in Game 3.

Gordon, 30, did not play in Thursday’s defeat, marking his first absence of the series. His last appearance came in Game 2, a 119-114 loss, where he recorded eight points, seven rebounds and four assists. He shot 3-for-9 from the field, 1-for-4 from three-point range and 1-for-2 from the free-throw line across 37 minutes.

Through two games in the series, Gordon has averaged 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 42.1% from the field and 22.2% from beyond the arc in 33.1 minutes per game. His versatility on both ends has been a key component of Denver’s rotation, particularly in defending multiple positions and contributing as a secondary playmaker.

Aaron Gordon injury status key as Nuggets seek Game 4 response vs. Timberwolves

Without Gordon in Game 3, the Nuggets struggled to match Minnesota’s physicality and defensive pressure. The Timberwolves capitalized on the absence, controlling the pace and limiting Denver’s offensive efficiency to take the series lead.

Denver now faces increased urgency heading into Game 4, with Gordon’s status likely to play a significant role in its ability to respond. His availability would provide additional size, rebounding and defensive flexibility against a Timberwolves team that has leaned heavily on its frontcourt advantage.

As the series continues, the Nuggets will look to even the matchup, while Minnesota aims to build momentum and move within one win of advancing.
