Aaron Gordon Boosts Nuggets in Comeback Win

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon returned from a nine-game absence due to a right calf strain in a matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, contributing 13 points in 18 minutes off the bench. Despite a minutes restriction, Gordon's performance was instrumental in the Nuggets' 112-101 comeback victory. Head coach Michael Malone plans to gradually increase Gordon's playing time, with expectations for him to return to the starting lineup soon. The Nuggets have shown resilience, winning multiple games this season after trailing by double digits. Gordon's return is seen as a significant boost to the team, which has managed a 12-8 record without him. Meanwhile, Draymond Green is expected to return to the Golden State Warriors lineup after a back injury kept him out of their previous game.
