shocking news broke regarding Denver Nuggets Super Legend

Surprising information about Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon surfaced on Wednesday. Gordon was bitten by a family dog on Christmas Day, which resulted in severe injuries. Gordon suffered cuts to his face and right shooting hand that required 21 sutures.

Gordon is in good health, but he will be out of the lineup for an indefinite period of time, according to a statement from the Nuggets. The exact timeline for Gordon’s comeback is unknown, but Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN claims that it should be a brief absence.

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone spoke on the situation following Wednesday’s practice.

“He’s hanging in there,” Malone said via AltitudeTV. “Obviously, a very traumatic experience and the most important thing I told him is that you take as much time as you need. We’re a family — wins, losses, and when people go through tough times like Aaron’s going through right now.”

Malone emphasized the team’s full support for Gordon, and understands how the injury impacts him physically, but also mentally.

“We need him to heal inside and out,” said Malone. “Going through something like that is not something you come back from easily. That’s something where you have to heal from the physical, but you also have to heal from the mental and what you just kind of went through.”
