With the Rockets vs. Nuggets game still in the first quarter, at 8:42, Aaron Gordon’s worst fears seemed to come true. The commentators captured the moment, echoing what fans feared:

“Does it get the roll? He was grabbing at the back of his right leg. And that time, he’s been moving a little gingerly, but this is not a ginger move right here. It’s a fast break… It looked like Aaron Gordon may have — and I hope not — re-injured that hamstring. That’s the area that he grabbed immediately. He landed awkwardly. We’ll see you next, and now a chronic trainer, Dan Shominski, will have a chat with Gordon.”

The game was at 8–4 with the Nuggets in the lead when the commentators later confirmed the news:

“Denver telling me Aaron Gordon is suffering a right hamstring strain. He is questionable to return.”
