The Denver Nuggets face a significant setback as forward Aaron Gordon is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a calf strain sustained in a recent game against the Toronto Raptors. Gordon's early exit after just four minutes of play highlights his importance to the team, as he was performing well prior to the injury.

With a 4-3 record, the Nuggets have struggled to find consistency this season, and Gordon's absence will be felt deeply. He has been a key contributor, averaging 17.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. The team now faces a challenging schedule ahead, raising concerns about their ability to compete in the Western Conference without him.
