No more? The Nuggets starter core hamstring is strained, and it is doubtful to play in the tiebreak battle, and the series may lose suspense in advance

As the schedule progresses further, the situation in the NBA 2024-25 season playoffs has basically become clear, and the Eastern Conference semi-finals can no longer be described as upset. The Pacers 4-1 gentleman swept the Cavaliers, the number one in the Eastern Conference, and the Knicks defended the champion Celtics 4-2 upset. You should know that in this year's regular season, the Knicks' record against the Celtics was 0 wins and 4 losses. In the Western Conference, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 4-1 and entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. In contrast, in another group of duels, the series between the Thunder and the Nuggets has reached a white-hot stage. The two teams come and go, from Tianwang Mountain to the tiebreak final.

However, just as the Nuggets were in full swing and hoping to take advantage of the hot momentum of Tianwangshan to win this series at home, the team suddenly heard bad news. The team's leading forward Gordon accidentally injured his hamstring in the King of Heaven with the Thunder. After the game, the Nuggets officially announced that Gordon had only a 50% chance of playing in the tiebreak final. In this way, the Nuggets lack super combat power, and the Thunder may really have no opponent this time. The series has lost its suspense in advance using this as a turning point.

Although Curry's experience is really in front of him, experts say that he will be absent for a week at the slightest, which also means that Gordon is likely to say goodbye to Jokic. But this seems to be completely non-fact to tough guy Gordon. During the media interview session after the game, Gordon replied lightly, "It feels okay, I will continue to observe." I will start to resume the process from now on to make sure I am ready for the tiebreak battle." Not only that, after the bad news came out, Gordon did not spread a frustration in the locker room like Curry next door, but performed very easily. Perhaps in his opinion, as long as he was not a broken leg, as long as he could run and jump, he would definitely play and help the team win this tough battle.

Fans who know Gordon know that his statement did not mean that he was standing and talking without back pain. This season, he was bitten by his beloved dog and suffered serious facial injuries. But he also made a comeback after only a few rests. In the game against the Clippers not long ago, the 0.2-second dunk hit was staged, and the three-pointer Thunder were in the back. It is a responsible player. This year's Nuggets can beat the Clippers in the first round and tiebreak with the Thunder in the second round. Gordon's performance is even stronger than Murray and Porter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leading star on par with Jokic.

is just a return to reality. Gordon averaged 38 minutes per game in the playoffs this year, and he can score 16 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. His excessive burning has left serious injuries on his body. If you feel uncomfortable, you must not return with injuries. It is enough for you to have stronger confidence than Curry. Never return with injuries like Tatum, which will eventually lead to a rupture of the Achilles tendon.
