Nuggets' J.J. Hickson: Hasn't played in eight games

Hickson (coach's decision) didn't play in Saturday's 101-86 loss to the Spurs.

The Nuggets were without four players due to injury Saturday, but Hickson unfortunately finds himself as the 11th man in coach Michael Malone's 10-man rotation. Hickson hasn't played since Dec. 8 and should continue to struggle to see the court outside of blowout wins or losses.
