Denver forward Aaron Gordon will miss at least the next two games due to a right calf strain, coach Michael Malone announced before the Nuggets hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Malone said he doesn't think Gordon's injury will keep him out for many games but did say he will not play Saturday night against the visiting Detroit Pistons.

For as important as Nikola Jokic is to the Denver Nuggets' success, they also heavily rely on Aaron Gordon being fully healthy. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, that just hasn't been the case this season.
