Despite Nikola Jokic missing a lot of games this season, the Nuggets find themselves as the #3 seed in the West.
The Nuggets have fared well amid key rotational players being out with injuries, but they just got an update that they aren't going to be pleased with.
What's the latest injury update on Aaron Gordon?

Gordon has played in just 23 games this season, after injuring his hamstring in late-November.
He missed over a month of action and finds himself back out of action, 10 games after he returned from his first major injury this season.
The 30-year-old already had a left hamstring injury that he played through in the playoffs last year, and now reinjured his other hamstring most recently.
Hamstring injuries are no joke, and players tend to be more vulnerable to injuries once they happen once or twice, so he'll have to be very careful moving forward in recovery, especially since he is so vital to the Nuggets.
