Aaron Gordon believes he'll be able to return to the court on Monday to play against the Charlotte Hornets, he told The Denver Post on Sunday.

After missing the Denver Nuggets' last two games, the forward returned to practice for the first time since being attacked by a family dog on Christmas. The lacerations to his face and shooting hand required 21 stitches, and at the time of the incident, the Nuggets gave no timetable for Gordon's return.

Their statement only said that Gordon was "in good condition" after the attack. Gordon spoke to reporters for the first time following the situation.
