"Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain and his status is in doubt for Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources tell ESPN," Charania wrote. "Major development heading into Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET game on ABC for a Western Conference Finals berth."
Gordon has been a key force for Denver this postseason on both sides of the ball. He's averaging playoff-highs in points (16.8) and rebounds (7.3). He's shot 48.5 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from deep.
In addition to his strong play, Gordon has been one of the postseason's best player in the clutch. He's had multiple clutch shots throughout the postseason, including numerous game winners.
Gordon dealt with calf and leg injuries throughout the regular season, but was healthy enough to play in every game thus far this postseason.
