Aaron Gordon Away From Nuggets After Dog Bite to Ace, Hand

Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon needed 21 stitches after suffering lacerations to his face and right shooting hand while being bitten by a family dog on Christmas.

The Nuggets announced in a statement that the 28-year-old Gordon "is in good condition" but will remain away from the team. There's no concrete timeline for his return, but there's optimism that his absence will be short-term, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Gordon is averaging 13.6 points and 6.9 rebounds for the defending NBA champions. He had 16 points and 10 rebounds in a 120-114 win over Golden State on Christmas."He's hanging in there," Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after practice Wednesday. "Obviously, a very traumatic experience and the most important thing I told him is that you take as much time as you need. We're a family -- wins, losses, and when people go through tough times like Aaron's going through right now.

I couldn’t find anything about the breed, or the circumstances.

At least it didn’t maul a kid or some stranger walking by.

21 stitches? That was no “dog bite”. That was a mauling.

Family dogs get very stressed at Christmas. My guess it was not a Chihuahua.

I have no idea who that person is. I assume it’s the guy who got his face bit off. No?

And it’s such a small dog. I wonder what caused the family dog to suddenly use this guy as a chew bone. Seems a bit odd.

I wouldn’t have looked if I hadn’t been wondering about the bite to Ace.

Rotweiler. The first dog breed intended to kill humans.
