Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Likely to play vs. Houston

Gordon (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Rockets.

The Nuggets continue to monitor Gordon, who is nursing a hamstring injury, but the forward is expected to play Friday. Gordon is off to a hot start in 2025-26, having averaged 20.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists per contest in 12 games while shooting 53.6 percent from the field. Zeke Nnaji is likely to revert back to the bench.
