Gordon strained the hamstring in his left leg at the end of Game 6 and was followed by a Grade 2 strain that required weeks of rest, but he eventually came on the court with the injury, explaining that he wanted to help the team reach the Western Conference Championship, and even if he knew the risks, he was willing to take them.

Gordon played 25 minutes, scoring eight points and grabbing a team-high 11 rebounds, four of which were offensive rebounds, but unfortunately it backfired, and the Nuggets failed to continue to advance. "I did everything I could." Gordon said that in order to play, he did hot compresses, cold compresses, massages, high-pressure oxygen and other methods, Gordon revealed that he did not feel the impact of the injury at the beginning, but admitted that in the back, he was no longer able to sprint with all his strength.

If the Nuggets win and advance, Gordon said he may need to miss two or three games, and if he can survive today's G7, he can come back in the rest of the next round, and as for the injury affecting his performance, Gordon added that he only hopes he can play a little better.
