Aaron Gordon’s 2024-25 season has been an emotional slingshot between physical highs and lows with the Nuggets.

With less than two minutes to play in the fourth quarter, Oklahoma City's Chet Holmgren stripped the ball away from Denver's Aaron Gordon. Gordon chased it, but Alex Caruso dove to secure possession. He tried to pass it, but Gordon kicked the pass. However, afterward, he grabbed at his hamstring and seemed to be in a fair bit of pain.

With just under two minutes to play in Game 6, Gordon was dribbling the ball up the court before OKC center Chet Holmgren poked it free. As Gordon was going for the loose ball, he came up a bit gimpy, holding and rubbing his left hamstring.
