The latest on Aaron Gordon, who was questionable on the Nuggets injury report before Game 3 of an NBA playoff series vs. the Timberwolves.

“They’ve just been saying a lot. All season. All series,” said Cam Johnson, who was one of the players named by McDaniels. “So let them talk. Let them get everything they want off their chest. We’re cool with it.”

The Denver Nuggets lost 119-114 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of their first-round NBA playoff series at Ball Arena in Denver on Monday night, April 20, 2026.

“Gotta take that one on the chin. That’s on me,” Christian Braun said of his missed free throw late in Game 2.

Rudy Gobert made everything hard. He turned every trip into the paint into an episode of “Naked and Afraid,” uncomfortable, awkward and desperate. Even for Nikola Jokic.

Timberwolves wing Jaden McDaniels said Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the Nuggets are “all bad defenders” after Denver’s Game 2 loss Monday.
