Aaron Gordon depends on Denver Nuggets Playoff Run | Sports reporting

The pain was not just physical.

“Still mourn the death of my brother,” said Gordon.

Gordon’s older brother, Drew, died last May in a traffic accident in Oregon. Drew spent a lot of time in Denver after completing a career as a player and was regularly playing with Aarons.

“It is one of the most difficult,” said Gordon about his 11th NBA season. “But I have a great group of boys.”

Michael Porter Jr. tried to offer help when Gordon navigated the mental and physical challenges this season. The way Porter sees is closely linked to each other. He recommended Gordon to see Nichole Sachs’ work. Sachs is a psychotherapist who specializes in chronic pain and his relationship with the brain.

“He really put a lot on his back and put a lot on his shoulders and played and tried to be available for the team and play a lot,” Porter told Denver Gazette.

“I recently told him that you have to take care of your emotions. If many things happen in your life, you can suppress it. I know that you can deal with chronic pain how suppressed feelings can actually be stored in the muscles. Emotions part of things.
