It was obvious for Gordon at the time it happened.
Gordon out for the playoffs now.

Yeah even if Denver won this game miraculously, there’s no way they will win the le if Gordon isn’t playing.
They need to find takers for MPJ’s contract and go get a 2nd star. Murray and Gordon are more of a #3 and #4. Hard to do when MPJ has been playing like total though,
MPJ will get a pass because of his injured shoulder, but agreed...even when healthy, he's not a #2 guy.
Jokic is always been thought of as good enough not to need a #2 but can ring with 2 #3s and a high level #4, which he did. The problem with Denver is depth at this point, injuries, fatigue and foul trouble would sink the team and without someone who can bail them out in crucial moments they can be easily exploited.
Murray is supposed to be that guy and westbrook is a high risk last resort version who can catch fire once every 15 games type of guy. Denver is going dangerously close to bucks pre Lillard version, hope they don’t flip Murray or Gordan for some high volume scorer who plays no d hoping to bail them out in half court.
Good on him. That's what it's all about. Even if he can't play, at least he's willing to give it a go. A lot of players won't. This Nuggets team really wants it. Unfortunately, they're lacking bodies and are banged up.
Denver has no chance if Gordon ain't playing. He's the one guy giving OKC match up problems on the glass because he's stronger than Chet. Even if he plays, him not being 100 will likely result in an OKC win, unless they choke.
They are better off trading him for multiple 3-and-D role players. Denver doesn't need a clear number 2. Jokic is making the players around him so much better that Denver would look amazing if they had about 3 Julian Champagnie type of players on the team, who could just knock down open 3s.
Apparently MPJ is the ownership's guy though because they went to the same college or something.
I know this is an early take and OKC can still win this game but honestly if they get eliminated I think we may see them trying to use their assets to get a Giannis or KD. They’re gonna have to. Other than Shai, their team is basically made up of just a bunch of elite role players. They need that TRUE #2.
Denver is so frustrating to watch. Aside from Jokic their offense is terrible.
Nuggets should be ahead by more tbh.
OKC is missing open looks while Denver has to work 22 seconds for a tough shot. Pretty clear how this is gonna go...
The fact that teams keep trying to give Westbrook a role is insane at this pointthis guy is such a low IQ cancer
Yeah, Denver's ed.
Denver choking. Jokic needs to play 48 minutes for them to have a chance
It’s impressive how OKC’s plan is to guard Jokic with Caruso. Not sure whether in a good way or a bad way.
Porter jr ting the bed yet again but always playing godlike against the spurs
Adelmam exactly sounds like his dad, holy
Well that escalated quickly.
