Jordan finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 3.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.3 steals across 12.3 minutes per game in 56 regular-season outings (five starts).
EDGE Analysis
The veteran big man received inconsistent run as Nikola Jokic's backup this season. Jordan appeared in six of the Nuggets' seven games during their first-round series win over the Clippers but made only one appearance during the second round, logging just two minutes. The 36-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he'll likely be tabbed for a role providing depth and serving as a veteran presence at this stage of his career.

Jordan recorded one rebound across five minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out Game 1 for a coach's decision, Jordan was used sparingly in Game 2. The Nuggets are rolling with a tight rotation against the Clippers, and that's unlikely to change now that the teams are tied at one win apiece.

Jordan won't start in Friday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis

Jordan closed with 10 points (2-4 FG, 6-12 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 loss to San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran big man collected a game-high 17 boards in Nikola Jokic's (ankle) stead on Wednesday, matching a season high in rebounds to go with his third double-double of the campaign. Jordan doesn't always see the court when Jokic is available, but the former has filled in serviceably when the latter has been out of action. Through five starts in 2024-25, Jordan has averaged 8.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks in 30.4 minutes while shooting 69.6 percent from the floor.

Jordan is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan is one of several players who will have the chance to handle an expanded role Wednesday, as head coach Michael Malone decided to rest all the usual starters. Jordan has made four starts this season, averaging 8.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and a combined 2.1 steals-plus-blocks per game in those four contests.

Jordan is not in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Bucks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan was in the Nuggets' starting five for the last two games, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday due to the return of Nikola Jokic (ankle). Across those two starts, Jordan averaged 10.5 points on 69.2 percent shooting, 16.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 34.5 minutes per contest.

Jordan totaled 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-5 FT), 17 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 129-119 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan was surprisingly productive in the assist column Monday, setting a new season high in just his second March appearance. The veteran center has made a splash while filling in for Nikola Jokic (ankle), recording a double-double in back-to-back performances. Jordan can be considered a worthwhile streaming option until Jokic gets the green light to return.

Jordan finished Sunday's 116-111 win over Houston with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
With Nikola Jokic (ankle) still sidelined, Jordan started at center Sunday, pushing Russell Westbrook to the second unit. According to coach Michael Malone, Jokic is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Bulls, but he's expected back at some point during the team's five-game homestand. If Jordan remains in the starting lineup, he'll be worth a look as a streamer after his eruption Sunday night.

Jordan will start in Sunday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aaron Gordon has been serving as the club's starting center due to Nikola Jokic (ankle) being sidelined, though Jordan will suit up for the first time since March 2, pushing Russell Westbrook to the bench. Jordan made two starts during January, accumulating 12 points, 17 rebounds, three blocks, three steals and two assists across 46 total minutes.

Jordan chipped in two rebounds and one assist in four minutes during Saturday's 123-100 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan barely saw the floor in the loss, playing fewer than 10 minutes for the first time in the past eight games. Although he is playing as the primary backup behind Nikola Jokic, his days of being a viable contributor are well behind him.
