Eric Gordon, Kyle Lowry Out Thursday for 76ers

Eric Gordon will not participate in Thursday's NBA game against the Boston Celtics due to a wrist injury, while Kyle Lowry will also be sidelined, creating more opportunities for Quentin Grimes. Meanwhile, Aaron Gordon of the Denver Nuggets is managing a calf injury but is expected to play in the same day's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gordon has been effective this season, averaging 12.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists, contributing significantly to the Nuggets' performance. He has missed 23 games this season, but the team has maintained a strong record when he plays. The Nuggets are looking to capitalize on his return as he continues to fill a larger role amid other injuries on the team. Both players' injuries highlight the ongoing challenges teams face with player availability as the season progresses.
