Aaron Gordon’s Injury Status for Celtics vs Nuggets
The Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets face off on early Sunday afternoon, as the defending NBA champs and reigning NBA MVP see each other for the first time this season. When the two teams met in January, Nikola Jokic was sidelined, leading to a dominant Celtics win in Denver.
For Sunday’s matchup, Jokic, Jamal Murray, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown are all good to go, so the game will likely be decided by the supporting cast. Unfortunately for both teams, each side could be missing some key players.
The Celtics have ruled out Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and the Nuggets will be without one of their key starters as well.

The Nuggets have listed Aaron Gordon out for Sunday’s game due to a left ankle sprain, downgrading him from his initial questionable status.
Gordon has dealt with his fair share of injuries this season, already missing 24 games. The Nuggets are 15-9 when Gordon is sidelined, as he also missed Denver’s last matchup with the Celtics. The 29-year-old forward is averaging 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season, becoming a huge contributor for the Nuggets.
The Nuggets and Celtics are each sitting in second place in their respective conferences, making Sunday’s matchup a huge test for both teams. They are set to face off at 1 p.m. EST in Boston on Sunday.

Nikola Jokic’s Brutally Honest Statement on Luka Doncic Trade to Lakers
Firefighters say a car crash was the cause of a large fire that broke out north of the Denver International Airport on Saturday afternoon.
The Brighton Fire Rescue District says a vehicle was traveling through the area of E. 120th Avenue and N. Watkins Road around 2 p.m. when it crashed. Fortunately, the people inside the vehicle did not suffer serious injuries, but the fire department says the vehicle’s catalytic converter caught the nearby grass on fire.
The 120 Fire quickly grew, and firefighters responded with engines, brush trucks and water tenders to attack it from multiple sides. Multiple agencies responded to assist as the winds continued to push the fire across the grassland.
It covered around 237 acres by the time firefighters brought it under control around 3:30 p.m. BFRD says firefighters continued to put out hotspots and monitor a large cottonwood tree that was smoldering nearly 30 feet up the trunk.
With Independence Day approaching, the fire rescue district shared a reminder that a single spark can ignite a fast-moving grass fire. They added that aerial fireworks are illegal in Brighton and pose a serious fire risk in the current conditions.
