The injury came with less than two minutes to play in the fourth quarter. Oklahoma City's Chet Holmgren stripped the ball away from Gordon, and Gordon chased it, but Alex Caruso dove to secure possession. He tried to pass it, but Gordon kicked the pass. However, afterward, he grabbed at his hamstring and seemed to be in a fair bit of pain.

Gordon suffered an injury in the final minutes of Game 6 and exited with 1:10 remaining in the fourth quarter.

"Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain and his status is in doubt for Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder," Charania reported. "Major development heading into Sunday's 3:30 pm ET game on ABC for a Western Conference Finals berth."
