Yeah, there’s injuries that you can play on without making significantly worse and there’s some you can’t. Players can gut through knee injuries for important games but hamstring and groin injuries are timebombs that tend to explode

TdotGdot | Timberwolves

I mean, sure but we’re talking about the injury report and he looked worse knee wise in game 3 vs 2, and tweaked his knee in the game. Doesn’t scream to me he’s getting better

Yeah surprised to see him off the report after he headed to the locker room late in the 4th last night.

I think heading to the lockerroom was more about frustration with foul trouble than anything.

He was back on the bench almost immediately.

AG wasn’t on it til yesterday either. They’re not telling us shit and are well within their rights. He’ll probably get designated questionable and play either way.

I watched and looked like it would be a case of jumpers knee or appellate tendinitis?

Thats something you can technically play through, but is painful and definitely limits your athletic ability.

I couldn’t see him playing on any level of MCL / ACL / Meniscus issue as those you can definitely make worse.

Unfortunately jumpers knee ain’t getting better quickly, just pain managed.

It’s been reported that he has runners knee, the same injury that Steph Curry had that kept him out 20+ games. It’s not going to get better until the offseason unfortunately. It only gets better with rest

Other than how dominant rudy has been against jokic, gordon’s rim protection or lack there of is the most glaring difference between this series and our 2024 series imo

BlackSheepComeHome14 | Timberwolves

With all due respect if you think Zeke is the answer you don’t understand what you are watching.

McDaniels or Randle will move him out of the action. Gordon can switch onto a guard or be in recovery, Zeke doesn’t have that versatility.

guidethyhandd | Timberwolves

Tbf most of the Nuggets stops last night were when Zeke was in. Idk how good his interior defense is but it’s certainly better than that starting lineup’s

Sanmonov | Nuggets

He’s a good switch big with some rim protection.

He doesn’t really know what the fuck he is doing on offence, plays with oven mitts and can’t rebound. Which is why he doesn’t play.

Zeke was so good man. Him and Strawther NEED more minutes. Really hope the absolute beatdown yesterday will make Adelman desperate enough to play them more. Tomorrow really is must win, need everyone to show up and everyone to be given a chance to do so.

Maybe you guys should start Nnaji next to Jokic instead of Spencer if AG is out

ilikekittens2018 | Nuggets

I’d like that. Spencer is fine but his defense isn’t holding up in the playoffs. Nnaji was better on both ends and deserves the minutes.

I’m thinking Aaron has to play at this point. Last year he was willing to play with a serious hamstring injury in game 7 so I assume this is going to be a similar line of thought since it’s pretty much a must win game. Even if he’s 60 percent, he’s better than Spencer Jones. The real issue is the reaggrevation of a more serious injury, which is always concerning but I know Aaron is a tough person so I’m sure he wants to play if he can.

Yes. However, if we knew AG would get injured during game 2, Jokic would be ass and that we couldn’t make shots we likely would not have been so confident.

I figured AG being healthy for an entire run was asking for some really good luck, but I still expected more than 2 games.

It’s just not worth it. The nuggets have had injury issues all year, it just has not come together for them, it doesn’t make sense to risk your future, at least imo.

ilikekittens2018 | Nuggets

3 | 3 hours ago

There is no future without a deep run lol. We are only going to get definitively worse and older next season and lose key pieces. AG can’t stay healthy for the regular season anyway so what future are we risking? It’s not like him getting a year older is going to make this less likely to happen again.

Diamond4Hands4Ever | Warriors

1 | 3 hours ago

From a personal standpoint I agree but given he did play in game 7 last year with a grade 2 hamstring tear, I know he’s the type that would want to do it if he can. You would have to hold him out rather than the other way around. But I do agree with you that the risk of reaggrevation and more serious injury is extremely high from a purely health standpoint.

Winnes0ta | Super 8

1 | an hour ago

I I feel like it’s different with a calf issue though. A grade 2 hamstring strain is already pretty bad on its own. There’s not much room for it to get a lot worse. With the calf though if they push it, it could go from something minor to a torn Achilles that knocks him out for next season too.

dustinyo_ | Timberwolves

Kind of asking for another playoff Achilles tear rushing someone back from a calf injury. I don’t think it’s worth the risk tbh, and not just because it helps us.

Idk if Gordon will ever be healthy enough to play deep playoff runs. He’s such an explosive guy, those hammies and calves are getting worked overtime

[Slater] Aaron Gordon is questionable for the Nuggets in Game 4. Walked through at practice today. Iced his calf afterward. Peyton Watson remains out. Did more individual court work. Anthony Edwards isn’t even listed on the Timberwolves injury report for the first time this series.
