Aaron Gordon Shines With Nikola Jokic Missing
3 years agoDenver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon had a great game on Friday against Chicago, scoring a season-high 28 points on 10-for-12 shooting in a 114-108 loss. He was 1-for-2 with the three-ball and 7-for-9 at the foul line with nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 37 minutes. The Nuggets played their second game of the season without Nikola Jokic (wrist) and had to rely on others to lead the offense, which Gordon did well. Head coach Mike Malone is unsure when his star man will be back, so Gordon could continue crushing it in the upcoming games. The next outing is a tough one for Denver against Phoenix, but Sunday's battle will be followed by a trip to Portland to meet up with the Blazers, who are ranked 27th in defensive efficiency.
