The Nuggets were down 3-1 to the Thunder in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. But Denver battled back and used a 119-107 win at home in Game 6 to force a pivotal Game 7.
Unfortunately, late in the fourth quarter of the win, Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon went down with an injury. Gordon was going after a loose ball and came up limping. With just under two minutes left in the game, Gordon was bringing up the ball when Thunder center Chet Holmgren knocked it away from him. While scrambling for it, the Denver forward looks like he felt something in his hamstring.
