Thunder head coach Mark Dignault talks about the Nuggets' possible loss of Aaron Gordon in Game 7

Oklahoma City - The seventh game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets is ready, but the form of starting forward Aaron Gordon remains unclear hours before the start of the game. Thunder head coach Mark Dignot revealed his expectations for Game 7 before Nuggets head coach David Adelman updated the news. Adelman then revealed Gordon's condition.

In any case, Dagnot was ready for the battle. Regardless of whether Gordon can play in Game 7, Dygnon predicts that the Nuggets will play the best blow in the series on Sunday. He reminded reporters that Gordon did not play every game.

"If he missed the entire series, things would be very different, but in terms of a single game - Game 7. Anything could happen. Anyone can come forward. We have to be prepared for their best hit. We did. We knew they would hit the best hit, and so did we."

After Gordon reportedly was out of the second-degree left hamstring strain, Adelman revealed that his starting forward was still considered the game time decision for Game 7.

"We will make decisions that are right for him and for our entire team during the game time," Adelman said. "There are the Aaron factor and the best factor for the whole team, and they are all trying to win Game 7. We will handle it properly. Our medical team is very good."

In any case, Degno and Thunder forward Chet Holmegren are looking forward to the Nuggets' best form in Game 7. Before Sunday's game began, Gordon conducted routine pre-match training to determine his form during Sunday's game.

Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon was allowed to play before Game 7 begins.

Mark Degno talks about Thunder's Game 7 expectations

Thunder head coach Mark Degno doesn't expect any surprises to bring to the Nuggets in Game 7. For Digueno, the key is whether his team can stick to the tactics and strategies that will allow them to go further in the playoffs.

"These recurring themes, you will only review them repeatedly in these situations. If you need new material in these situations, your material is wrong in the beginning. They are all the same, nothing new. We will not introduce anything new at the spiritual, tactical, or fundamental level today. We must go all out, play the best, be ourselves, and rely on the habits we have developed over the years."

Digno also said that the Thunder maintained their focus and balance before Game 7.

"They acted fairly consistently. You know? They were the same almost every day," said Dageno. "They have a good training foundation, a focus and a behavioral foundation."

The Thunder will strive to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
