Gordon’s calf injury hasn’t caused him to miss games recently, but it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon, either.

It's only getting tougher for the Nuggets, too, as key forward Aaron Gordon is out with an injury he suffered in the first quarter of the loss on Sunday. Gordon, a defensive star who is averaging 13.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists this season, injured his calf in the game.

The Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder are going at it in a battle between two of the best teams in the Western Conference on Sunday. After a hot start from the Nuggets, the Thunder stormed back to take a 74-64 lead in the third quarter.
