Aaron Gordon’s injury status vs. Wizards

Given Gordon’s likely status on the injury report, the expectation is that he will start against the Wizards. He had 18 points, seven rebounds and two assists in Thursday’s 126-114 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Maybe his name on the Nuggets’ injury report is just a formality.

The Wizards are on a 16-game losing streak at 2-18 and have the worst record in the NBA. The Nuggets, 11-9, who have lost two of their last three games, are two games above .500 for eighth place in the Western Conference. Denver will look to gain momentum in the standings. The Nuggets struggled while hovering around a .500 record for most of 2024-25.

Gordon’s performance has been solid this season. He is averaging 15.1 points on 55.2% shooting, including 53.3% from distance, which is by far the most efficient shooting percentage of his 11-year career. Gordon has never finished an NBA season shooting above 40 percent from distance, but could be on track to achieve that in 2024-25. He averages 1.6 attempts on 3.0 attempts from behind the arc.

Jamal Murray’s injury status vs. Wizards

Given Murray’s questionable status on the injury report, the Nuggets could give him the night off if the inflammation in his right hamstring doesn’t go away. In a rare road meeting that ended Sunday against the Hawks, the Nuggets could take the precautionary route with their starting point guard.

Murray’s performance has been declining over the last few games. While Murray averaged 17.8 points and 4.0 rebounds this season, he averaged 16.3 points and 2.3 rebounds over the last three games for the Nuggets. Overall, Murray’s shooting percentages – 42.0% from the floor, including 33.3% from deep – are the lowest since his rookie season.

Murray and Gordon finished with 19 and 18 points in the Nuggets’ 12-point loss to the Cavs. Their last win was a four-point win (119-115) against the Warriors.

When it comes to whether Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray will play tonight against the Wizards, suffice it to say that Gordon could be activated while Murray sits, which wouldn’t be the worst thing for the Nuggets.
