Datome never made it off the bench Wednesday night against the Nuggets, despite suiting up for the game.

Analysis:

Datome had been dealing with knee tendinitis, but he was available for tonight's game. Datome was passed up for minutes in favor of Kyle Singler and Caron Butler. Butler didn't score a single point in 23 minutes of play, however, so Datome could find his way back in to the rotation if he's healthy.
