Denver forward Aaron Gordon will sit out at least the next two games because of a right calf strain, coach Michael Malone announced before the Nuggets hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Malone said he doesn't think Gordon's injury will keep him out for many games but did say he will not play Saturday night against the visiting Detroit Pistons.

Aaron Gordon receives a key injury update just ahead of the Denver Nuggets' showdown with the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers.

For as important as Nikola Jokic is to the Denver Nuggets' success, they also heavily rely on Aaron Gordon being fully healthy. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, that just hasn't been the case this season.
