Aaron Gordon is back in action after sitting out for 10 games due to a calf injury.
After being sidelined for 10 games due to a right calf strain, Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon received the green light to return to the court on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 29-year-old had initially been listed as "out" on the team's injury report for Saturday's game, but was upgraded to "doubtful" before ultimately being listed as "questionable" on Sunday morning.

Despite being cleared to play, Gordon will not be starting for the Nuggets as rookie Peyton Watson has been filling in for him during his absence. The injury occurred during a game against the Toronto Raptors on November 4th, when Gordon left the court during a timeout in the first quarter. He had been dealing with calf inflammation leading up to the game.

In the meantime, Gordon has been traveling with the team and participating in full practices. Before his injury, he had been averaging 15.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. He was also on fire from beyond the arc, shooting an impressive 54.5%.

The Nuggets have definitely felt Gordon's absence on the defensive end. Prior to his return, they ranked 19th in the league in defensive rating and were giving up the third-most points in the paint per game. With his versatility and athleticism, Gordon's presence on the court will be a huge asset to the team.
