- The Denver Nuggets are getting a major boost as they welcome back forward Aaron Gordon for their game against the New York Knicks.
- Gordon has missed the last 17 games due to two separate hamstring injuries, but he is now officially active and ready to play.
- While Gordon will be on a minute restriction, his return is a significant development for the Nuggets, who have struggled in his absence, going just 8-9 over the past 17 games.
- Gordon's presence will provide a lift to the Nuggets' starting lineup, which has not played together since November 12th. The Nuggets' preferred starting five of Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Cam Johnson, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic has a +11.5 net rating in the limited time they've played together this season.
