The Denver Nuggets made the right Aaron Gordon call and ruled the forward out of their matchup against the Spurs on Thursday. He was a game-time decision after he played 22 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Rockets.
Gordon has played only three games since returning from his second hamstring injury of the season. The last game he played before getting hurt was in the second half of a back-to-back against Milwaukee on Jan. 23, and the last thing the Nuggets needed was for a similar situation to play out in San Antonio.
It helps that Denver took care of business against Houston, moving up to the No.
