Gordon exited late in the fourth quarter of Thursday's Game 6 win after chasing down a loose ball and appearing to injure his hamstring on a kickball play.
Following the game, interim head coach David Adelman expressed "high concern". Gordon, however, tried to remain optimistic, saying, "I feel OK… We'll see how I feel tomorrow morning."
The 29-year-old forward has been plagued by injuries throughout the season. He appeared in just 51 regular-season games, missing time due to a right calf strain that he has continued to manage during the playoffs.
Gordon has been a key contributor for Denver in the postseason, averaging career playoff highs with 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He has also delivered two game-winners during the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
Game 7 is scheduled for Sunday at 3:30 p.m. EST. The winner will advance to face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.
