According to a statement from the Nuggets, Gordon, 28, “is in good condition” but will not be playing for the squad. Although a specific return date is unknown, there is hope that his absence would be brief, a source told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

The small forward for the Nuggets is expected to miss a significant period of action. Following Gordon’s outstanding performance on Christmas Day against the Golden State Warriors—which included 16 points, 10 rebounds, and strong defence—the incident took place.

“He’s hanging in there,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after practice Wednesday. “Obviously, a very traumatic experience and the most important thing I told him is that you take as much time as you need. We’re a family — wins, losses, and when people go through tough times like Aaron’s going through right now.

“We have his back. We love him. We’re here for him. So whenever he’s able to come back, we’re going to open our arms up and embrace him. I told all the guys to make sure they’re reaching out to him, to make sure he’s never feeling like he’s on an island.”

Details of the event were initially published by The Athletic.

Gordon suffered cuts to his face and shooting hand after being mauled by a dog after the game. The team said that he would not be able to play until he completely heals from his injuries, which required numerous stitches.

Other than the fact that Gordon required 21 stitches for his wounds, not much is known at this time about the dog attack, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
