The Hindu  

The Denver Nuggets will be without power forward Aaron Gordon indefinitely as he recovers from dog bite injuries to his face and hand, the NBA team said Wednesday. In a brief statement the Nuggets said Gordon “is in good condition and will remain away from the team while he recovers.” According to the statement he “suffered lacerations to his face and hand resulting from a dog bite on December 25th.” The Athletic website reported Gordon required 21 stitches. Denver coach Michael Malone told reporters after the team’s practise on Wednesday that Gordon was “hanging in there” after a “very traumatic experience.” Malone said the Nuggets, who is 22-10 and second in the Western Conference behind Minnesota, wouldn’t try to rush Gordon back. But I want to support Aaron Gordon and make sure when he comes back, he’s ready to come back and play at the level that we know he’s capable.”
