Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon issued a pointed warning to Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg during the team's media day at Ball Arena on September 28, 2026.
Gordon, a veteran presence for the Nuggets, addressed reporters at the annual preseason event. The nature of the warning was not disclosed, but the interaction underscored the competitive dynamic between the established Nuggets and the Warriors' incoming talent.
The Warriors selected Lendeborg in the 2026 NBA Draft. He is expected to compete for rotation minutes during his first professional season.
Denver opens its regular season later in October.
