The Denver Nuggets have an opportunity to take a 2-0 lead over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. Aaron Gordon landed on the team's injury report ahead of the Game 2 matchup.

The star forward is probable due to right calf injury management.

Gordon battled a calf injury late in the regular season. He carried a heavy load during Denver's 112-110 overtime victory over the Clippers in Game 1. The 29-year-old played 46 minutes, posting 25 points, eight rebounds, one assist and two steals on 8-of-14 shooting from the field and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line.
