Hickson only has one game left to serve on his five-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy.

Analysis:

Hickson will be missing Friday's game against the Cavaliers but is eligible to return against the Trail Blazers on Sunday. The Nuggets are currently rotating five guys in their frontcourt rotation so it'd be hard to imagine Hickson seeing significant time on the court when he returns from his suspension.
