The Denver Nuggets will be without star forward Aaron Gordon for “multiple weeks” due to a calf injury, according to ESPN.
Gordon injured his calf just four minutes into the Nugget’s 121-119 win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday on a drive to the basket.
ESPN’s newly-minted senior basketball insider, Shams Charania, reported the news that Gordon would miss extended time Tuesday afternoon.
The injury comes two weeks after Gordon signed a 4-year, $133 million contract extension with the Nuggets. Denver has also been without Jamal Murray, who also signed a megadeal in the offseason, for two games as the star point guard has been in the NBA’s concussion protocol.
Denver is one of six Western Conference teams off to a 4-3 start to the season.
