Aaron Gordon Questionable For Wednesday
Aaron Gordon (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The 26-year-old came down with a non-COVID illness. The team will likely see how he is feeling leading up to the game on Wednesday prior to making a decision on his availability. Gordon recently missed a game due to a sore right foot, but he returned on Monday, albeit in an underwhelming performance. He played 20 minutes on Monday and compiled just seven points, three rebounds and two assists. Davon Reed and JaMychal Green (wrist) would see increased minutes if Gordon were out on Wednesday. However, keep in mind that Green is dealing with a wrist injury himself and is currently listed as probable.

Aaron Gordon Cleared For Action
Aaron Gordon (calf) will be active on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was listed as probable on the initial injury report, as Gordon continues to manage a calf injury. The team upgraded his status to available before tip-off. The 29-year-old played a key role in Saturday's 112-110 overtime victory against the Clippers, scoring 25 points and picking up eight rebounds with two steals. This means Gordon has scored 25-plus points in three of his last seven outings.

Aaron Gordon Listed As Probable For Game 2
Aaron Gordon (calf) has been listed as probable for Monday's Game 2 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Gordon is back on the injury report with a right calf strain, but he is likely to play. The veteran was one of the stars of the show in the series opener on Saturday, posting 25 points, eight rebounds, and two steals in 46 minutes. The Clippers must improve their defensive effort against him on Monday night, though they aren't the only team that has struggled to contain him, as Gordon is averaging over 20 points per game this month.

Aaron Gordon Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday
Aaron Gordon (illness, calf) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's action against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The game will kick off a back-to-back set for Denver, and Gordon looks certain to sit out at least one of the contests as he keeps managing a calf injury. Furthermore, he is dealing with an illness, which could also impact his availability. Peyton Watson's workload will likely increase if Gordon does not play. The young forward has been a monster on the defensive end lately, averaging 3.0 blocks per game over the past four contests.

Aaron Gordon Available Wednesday
Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is ready to return from a one-game absence after initially carrying a questionable tag on the injury report. Peyton Watson, who tallied 24 points in 39 minutes on Monday against the Chicago Bulls, will have to settle for a smaller role in the rotation due to Gordon's return. Although Gordon has been bothered by calf and ankle injuries, his recent performances have been outstanding, as the 29-year-old has averaged 23.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists over his last five appearances.
