Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Expected to miss time

Nuggets head coach David Adelman said after Friday's 112-109 win over the Rockets that he expects Gordon (hamstring) to miss some time, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports.

Gordon departed in the second quarter with a right hamstring strain, finishing the night with one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in three minutes. Though the severity of Gordon's hamstring injury won't be confirmed until he undergoes an MRI, even a Grade 1 strain would likely put the veteran forward in line for a multi-game absence. Spencer Jones opened the second half of Friday's game with the starting five in Gordon's stead, and players such as Cameron Johnson, Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther (back) could also see boosts in playing time while Gordon is on the mend.
