Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon faces long odds to play in Sunday's Game 7, as he has a Grade 2 hamstring strain and needs several weeks to recover from the injury, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
Gordon, the Nuggets' playoff star, has been searching for ways to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but it is becoming physically improbable to do so.
He had exited Thursday's series-extending Game 6 win late in the fourth quarter after grabbing at his left hamstring.
The Nuggets held some hope that Gordon would play after he participated in a walkthrough Saturday.
