Shams:Gordon suffered a second-degree hamstring strain and needed weeks to recover.
Therefore, in the Nuggets VS Thunder tie-breaker, Gordon can't play......
So far in this year's playoffs, Gordon has averaged 38.2 minutes per game, contributing 16.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists, shooting 48.5%, 38.2% and 85.1% from three, and the Nuggets have a net win of 3.2 points per 100 possessions when he is on the floor, and a net minus 26.5 points on the contrary.
In fact, Gordon has been looking for opportunities to participate in the tiebreaker, and even came to Oklahoma City with the team to participate in the team's joint practice, but his physical condition made him weak. However, so far, the Nuggets have not officially confirmed the news of Gordon's withdrawal from G7.
Gordon is only 29 years old, and if he risked his entire career to play for a playoff game, it is debatable, and the Nuggets may not allow it.
Denver media DNVR Nuggets asked: "If Gordon G7 can't play, who can step up?" Also accompanied by pictures of Peyton Watson and Zike Nagy.
Waters said he was prepared for the topic, and that the pressure didn't crush him, but rather made him excited.
This guy's 2.01-meter swingman has averaged 13.8 minutes per game in the playoffs this year, scoring 4.5 points and 2.8 rebounds, and shooting 43.8% from three-point range.
In any case, the Nuggets can't expect too much from Gordon, even if he plays with an injury, he can't contribute as much as he did in the previous series, so it's best to pray that someone else can step up, and the other cores Jokic & Murray & Porter Jr. & Westbrook can collectively super burst out.
It seems that Lady Luck has finally stood on the side of the Thunder, and they are destined to make a big difference this year.
If the Thunder successfully eliminate the Nuggets, the opponent in the West will be the Timberwolves led by Edwards; The Eastern Conference showdown has been decided, with the Pacers vs. the Knicks.
Now standing at the top of the playoffs, they are all new generation stars, and the NBA has really ushered in a change of dynasty!
