Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon will miss at least four-to-six weeks after aggravating a hamstring strain, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
Gordon missed more than a month earlier this season following a hamstring strain in late November. He's appeared in 10 games for Denver since returning to the lineup Jan. 4.
The injury again derails what's otherwise been a career year for the former NBA champion. Gordon's 17.7 points per game through 23 contests are the most he's posted over 12 NBA seasons. He's also registering 50.9/40/78.9 shooting splits while adding 6.2 boards and 2.5 assists per contest.
The Nuggets are 17-6 when Gordon plays this season and 14-10 when he doesn't.
